Lyrics

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives Thy service find
In deeper reverence, praise, in deeper reverence, praise

In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea
The gracious calling of our Lord, let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee, rise up and follow Thee!

O silence like Galilee! O calm of hills above
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee the silence of eternity
Interpreted by love, interpreted by love

Drop Thy still dews of quietness, till all our striving cease
Take from our souls the strain and stress
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace, the beauty of Thy peace

Take from the heat of our desire like coolness and like calm
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire
O still, small voice of God! O still, small voice of God!
