[ti: Dear Lord and Father of Mankind]
[length: 03:51]
[00:12.51]Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
[00:19.79]Forgive our foolish ways!
[00:25.51]Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
[00:31.43]In purer lives thy service find,
[00:36.78]In deeper reverence praise.
[00:44.56]
[00:49.95]In simple trust like theirs who heard,
[00:56.62]Beside the Syrian sea,
[01:02.12]The gracious calling of the Lord,
[01:07.99]Let us, like them, without a word
[01:13.89]Rise up and follow thee.
[01:20.22]
[01:27.10]O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
[01:33.53]O calm of hills above,
[01:39.26]Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
[01:45.06]The silence of eternity,
[01:51.69]Interpreted by love!
[01:57.81]
[02:40.62]Drop thy still dews of quietness,
[02:46.48]Till all our strivings cease;
[02:51.88]Take from our souls the strain and stress,
[02:57.96]And let our ordered lives confess
[03:03.83]The beauty of thy peace.
[03:10.55]
[03:16.53]Breathe through the heats of our desire
[03:22.94]Thy coolness and thy balm;
[03:28.37]Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
[03:34.15]Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
[03:39.99]O still small voice of calm!
