Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Church Anniversaries; Church Anniversaries Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on the people pour thy power; crown thine ancient church's story, bring her 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 hosts of evil round us scorn thy Christ, assail his ways! Fears and doubts too long have bound us; free our hearts to work 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 things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss thy kingdom's goal, lest we miss thy kingdom's goal. 4 Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the search for thy salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving thee whom we adore, serving thee whom we adore. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Church Anniversaries Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, in every age, beset by change but Spirit led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, a caring church that longs to be a partner in Christ's sacrifice, and clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, and teach us how to share our bread and feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord: to care for all without reserve and spread Christ's liberating word.
