Hughes

God of grace and God of glory,

CureThy children's warring madness,

On Thy peoule pourThy power;

Bend our pride toThy control;

Crov/nThine ancient Church's story;

Shame our wanton,

Bring her bud to glorious flm·ler ..

Rich in things and poor in so ul .

Grant us wisdom,

Grant u s courage,

Gran t us wisdom,

selfish gladne ss , Grant us courage,

For the facing of this hour,

Lest we missThy kingdom's goal,

For the facing of this hour.

Lest He missThy kingdom's goal ..

Set our feet on lofty places; Gird our lives that they may be Armored with all Christ-like graces

In the fight to set men free. Grant us wisdom,

Grant us courage,

That lrle fail not man nor Thee! That we fail not man norTheet Benediction
