Today’s hymn sung
by St Martins in the Fields is: God of Grace and God of Glory

1 God of grace and God of glory,

on thy people pour thy power;

now fulfil thy church's story;

bring her 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 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.

3 Cure thy children's warring madness,

bend our pride to thy control;

shame our wanton selfish gladness,

rich in goods and poor in soul.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,

lest we miss thy kingdom's goal.

4 Set our feet on lofty places,

gird our lives that they may be

armoured with all Christlike graces

in the fight till all be free.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,

that we fail not man nor thee.

Harry Emerson Fosdick (1878-1969)
