God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick, 1878-1969 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Unity and Diversity Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on thy people pour thy power; crown thine ancient church's story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the clouds of evil 'round us hide thy brightness from our gaze; from the fears that long have bound us, free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children's warring madness; bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, make thy peace our daily goal, make thy peace our daily goal. 4 Fill us with a living vision, heal our wounds hat we may be bound as one beyond division in the struggle to be free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, ears to hear and eyes to see, ears to hear and eyes to see. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

Let war be learned no longer, let strife and tumult cease, all earth a blessed garden and God the god of peace. 2 Let all that now divides us remove and pass away, like shadows of the morning before the blaze of day. Let all that now unites us more sweet and lasting prove, a closer bond of union, in a blessed land of love. 3 O long-expected dawning, come with your cheering ray! Yet shall the promise beckon and lead us not astray. O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on to pray, and hope, and labor, till all our work is done. Used With Tune: WEBB

O Young and Fearless Prophet

Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Unity and Diversity Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee: your life is still a summons to serve humanity, to make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, to stand with humble courage for truth with hearts unbowed. 2 O help us stand unswerving against war's bloody way, where hate and lust and falsehood hold back your holy sway; forbid false love of country, that turns us from your call who lifts above the nation the neighborhood of all. 3 Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, that knows not race nor station as bound'ries of the mind; that learns to value beauty, in heart, or mind, or soul, and longs to see God's children as sacred, perfect, whole. 4 Stir up in us a protest against unneeded wealth; for some go starved and hungry who plead for work and health. Once more give us your challenge above our noisy day, and come to lead us forward along your holy way. Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
