JESUS, STAND AMONG US
At the meeting of our lives.
Be our sweet agreement
At the meeting of our eyes.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here,
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.

So to You we’re gathering
Out of each and every land.
Christ the love between us
At the joining of our hands.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here,
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.

(Optional verse for Communion:)
Jesus, stand among us
At the breaking of the bread.
Join us as one body
As we worship You, our Head.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here,
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.

GOD OF GRACE AND GOD OF GLORY,
On Thy people pour Thy power.
Crown Thine ancient church’s story.
Bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the facing of this hour.

Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn Thy 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.

Heal 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.

Set our feet on lofty places.
Gird our lives that they may be
Armoured with all Christlike graces
In the fight to set men free.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
That we fail not man nor Thee.

Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore.
Let the search for Thy salvation
Be our glory ever more.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving Thee whom we adore.
    H. E. Fosdick..

IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might.
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all life Thou givest, to both great and small.
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all.
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight.
All laud we would render: O help us to see
’Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
