Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Epiphany III Year A; Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Ash Wednesday; Proper 7 Year C; Proper 21 Year B; Lent 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 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 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.
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. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-12 Used With Tune: REPTON

to serve you to the end;
remain for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the journey
if you are by my side,
not wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, then draw nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
now speak, and make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you,
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end:
O give me grace to follow,
my Saviour and my friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST

joyless is the day’s return
till thy mercy’s beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.

pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day. Used With Tune: RATISBON

let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.

pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

The Head That Once Was Crowned
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 7 Year C First Line: The head that once was crowned with thorns Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor’s brow.
2 The joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love
and grants his name to know.
3 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace is given,
their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.
4 They suffer here with Christ below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
5 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Used With Tune: ST MAGNUS

you, our God and Saviour:
praise your name for ever.

hear the harps resounding;
see the crowds the throne surrounding.

Bow your ear
to us here;
hearken, O Lord Jesus,
to our humble praises.

purify my spirit,
trusting only in your merit;
like the holy angels
gathered all before you,
may I ceaselessly adore you.
Let your will
ever still
rule your church terrestrial,
as the hosts celestial. Used With Tune: ARNSBERG
