Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea.
Their 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.
Amen.
