Dear God, Embracing Humankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 509 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Dear God, embracing human-kind, forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives your service find, in deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of your word, let us, like them, be spirit stirred, rise up and followers be. 3 O sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above! There Jesus met you prayerfully: the silence of eternity, interpreted by love. 4 Drop your 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 your peace. 5 Breathe through the pulses of desire your coolness and your balm; Let sense be numb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. Scripture: Mark 1:16-20 Used With Tune: REST

Our God is marching on.
