God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Henry Emerson Fosdick, 1878-1969 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 164 hymnals Topics: God Care and Guidance Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, On Thy people pour Thy pow'r; Crown Thine ancient Church's story; Bring her bud to glorious flow'r. 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! 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 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 gift of Thy salvation Be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, Serving Thee whom we adore, Serving Thee whom we adore. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:9-11 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Author: H. W. Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 699 hymnals Topics: God the Father His Care and Guidance Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never. I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever. 2 Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul he leadeth; and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me; and on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill, with thee, dear Lord, beside me; thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spreadst a table in my sight; thy unction grace bestoweth; and oh, what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth! 6 And so through all the length of days, thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise within thy house forever. United Methodist Hymnal, 1989
