Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 1; Year C Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper rev'rence praise,
in deeper rev'rence 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,
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!
Interpreted by love!
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,
the beauty of thy peace.
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!
O still small voice of calm! Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18 Used With Tune: REPTON

healing and sight,
health to the troubled mind,
sight to the Spirit-blind,
O now to humankind
let there be light.

life-giving, holy dove,
speed forth your flight;
move on the water's face,
bearing the lamp of grace,
and in earth's darkest place
let there be light.

through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.

hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still of countless price
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask,
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O God, in your dear love,
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
God's truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.
3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind,
he calms and heals the troubled mind,
and sends the wounded conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I'll praise you while you lend me breath,
and, when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH
