God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Lent 3 Year A; Lent 3 Year B Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
now fulfil your church’s story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn your Christ, assail your 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.
3 Cure your children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,
rich in goods and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss your kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christ-like graces,
pledged to set all captives free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
that we fail not them nor thee. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
God of Grace and God of Glory
The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Appears in 785 hymnals Topics: Year B Lent 3 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heav'ns, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun from day to day
does his Creator's pow'r display,
and publishes to ev'ry land
the works of an almighty hand,
the works of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail
the moon takes up the wondrous tale,
and nightly to the list'ning earth
repeats the story of her birth;
whilst all the stars that round her burn,
and all the planets in their turn,
confirm the tidings, as they roll,
and spread the truth from pole to pole,
and spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
move round the dark terrestrial ball;
what though nor lit'ral voice nor sound
amid their radiant orbs be found;
in reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice,
for ever singing as they shine,
'The hand that made us is divine,
the hand that made us is divine.' Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Used With Tune: ADDISON'S (LONDON)

In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,515 hymnals Topics: Lent 3 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time.
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo, it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide. Used With Tune: RATHBUN

Father, hear the prayer we offer
Author: Maria Willis, 1824-1908 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: Year A Lent 3 Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer:
not for ease that prayer shall be,
but for strength that we may ever
live our lives courageously.
2 Not for ever in green pastures
do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.
3 Not for ever by still waters
would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.
4 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wand'rings be our guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side. Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 Used With Tune: MARCHING
Father, hear the prayer we offer

shed within its walls alway.
3 Here bestow on all your servants
what they ask of you to gain;
what they gain from you for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.
4 Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one,
one in mighty, and one in glory,
while unending ages run. Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Latin, 7th century

I Heard the Voice of Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,226 hymnals Topics: Lent 3 Year A First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise;
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

you can preserve us.

Lord, you can save when deadly sin assails us:
Lord, when at last that solemn trumpet hails us,
keep and protect us!

grant them your truth, that they may be forgiven;
grant peace on earth and, after we have striven,
peace in your heaven. Used With Tune: CLOISTERS
