Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 509 hymnals Topics: Commitment, Dedication, Consecration, Devotion Lyrics: 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 rev'rence, praise. 2 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. 3 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! 4 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.
