on your people pour your power;
now fulfil your church’s story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.

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.

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.

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. Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: Voices United #271 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Proper 15 Year A Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy

are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?

and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN
