Yours that Hand that Made Creation
Yours the hand that made creation, womb of every constellation
Every species, every nation: glory to the Three-in-One.
Jesus, from the first descending, by your birth the broken mending,
Word of God the never-ending: glory to the Three-in-One.
Holy Wisdom, every near us, tongue of fire to teach all hearers,
Sanctify and guard and cheer us: glory to the Three-in-One.
God of Grace and God of Glory
God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
now fulfill your 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.
Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn the 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.
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,
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal.
Set our feet on lofty places
Gird our lives that they may be
Armoured with all Christ-like graces
In the fight for liberty.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
Lest we fail ourselves and thee,
Lest we fail ourselves and thee.
