Lord of all nations, grant me grace

by Olive Wise Spanmus

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 588.

Verse 1

Lord of all nations, grant me grace To love all people, every race, And in each person may I see My kindred loved, redeemed by Thee.

Verse 2

Break down the wall that would divide Thy children, Lord, on every side. My neighbor’s good let me pursue; Let Christian love bind warm and true.

Verse 3

Forgive me, Lord, where I have erred By loveless act and thoughtless word. Make me to see the wrong I do Will crucify my Lord anew.

Verse 4

Give me Thy courage, Lord, to speak Whenever strong oppress the weak. Should I myself the victim be, Help me forgive, rememb’ring Thee.

Verse 5

With Thine own love may I be filled And by Thy Holy Spirit willed, That all I touch, where’er I be, May be divinely touched by Thee.
