Dear Father, Lord of humankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 530 hymnals Topics: God Images (Father) Lyrics: 1 Dear Father, Lord of humankind, forgive our foolish ways; reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives thy service find, in deeper reverence, praise. 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. 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. 4 With that deep hush subduing all our words and works that drown the tender whisper of thy call, as noiseless let thy blessing fall as fell thy manna down. 5 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. 6 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. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-12 Used With Tune: REST

Th' almighty power can never fail, His love can ne'er decay. 2 Behold, the birds that wing the air, Nor sow nor reap the grain: Yet God, with all a father's care, Relieves when they complain. 3 Behold the lilies of the field: They toil nor labor know; Yet royal robes to theirs must yield, In beauty's richest glow. 4 That God who hears the raven's cry, Who decks the lily's form, Will surely all your wants supply, And shield you in the storm. 5 Seek first his kingdom's grace to share, Its righteousness pursue: And all that needs your earthly care He will bestow on you.
