Hymn 91
Nemi Robertson, words
From an early 19th Century MS., music
Grace for today, O Love divine,
Thee to obey and love alone;
Losing the mortal will in Thine,
Find we a joy before unknown.
Grace for today, Thou Love divine,
Famishing hearts and hopes to feed;
Blot out all fear, let Thy light shine
With tender warmth on all our need.
Grace for today, Thou Love divine,
Patient of heart his way to trace
Whose pure affections Thee define
In tender love and perfect grace.

verses 1, 4 anon.; verses 2, 3 Enrique S. Turral; eng. tr. Mary Louise Bringle, adapt., words
Argentine melody; harm. Ronald Krisman, alt., music
Joyfully we’re singing of our dear God’s grace,
Living every day within Love’s warm embrace.
Eagerly we long to witness everywhere;
All throughout the world, God’s saving love to share.
REFRAIN
Singing of our dear God’s grace,
Living in Love’s warm embrace,
Longing, now and everywhere,
All God’s saving love to share.
Who can separate us from the love of God?
Truth is here to shield us with its staff and rod.
What is there to harm us when this help is sure?
We are more than conquerors; we rest secure.
REFRAIN
Everything that happens to us day by day,
Christ will be the beacon that will light our way.
Through distress and peril, God is faithful still,
Why should we be fearful if we trust God’s will?
REFRAIN
God remains our refuge in the trials we face,
Shielding and sustaining us with loving grace.
Working through the labors of our hearts and hands,
Truth will lead us onward in triumphant bands!

Hymn 582
Leide Lessa; eng. tr. CSPS, words
Messias R. Ullmann F°, music
The grace of God is always surrounding me.
Wherever I should wander, God will ever be.
Truth that makes us free, I will know.
Love’s delight in me brightly glows:
The grace of God forever surrounding me.
Forever, Life divine, I am one with You.
The Christ reveals my selfhood that is always true.
One with Soul in true quality,
One existence eternally:
The grace of God forever surrounding me.
The strength of Love compels me to sing aloud.
Intelligent, eternal Mind will lift the cloud.
Life bestows on me perfect health,
Soul reveals to me inner wealth:
The grace of God forever surrounding me.
