[[Full Lyrics]]
[Verse 1]
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Rclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
[Verse 2]
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
[Verse 3]
O sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
[Verse 4]
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
[Verse 5]
Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.
