Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Scripture: John 14:25-31 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 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 pulses of desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, its heats expire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm!

The end of all our woe he brings; therefore the earth is glad and sings. To Christ the Savior raise your grateful hymns of praise. 3 How blest the land, the city blest, where Christ the ruler is confessed! O peaceful hearts and happy homes to whom this king in triumph comes! The cloudless sun of joy is he who comes to set his people free. To God the Spirit raise your happy shouts of praise. 4 Fling wide the gates; prepare your heart to be a temple set apart from earthly use for heav'n's employ, adorned with prayer and love and joy. So shall your Sov'reign enter in and new and nobler life begin. To God alone be praise for word and deed and grace. 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide my heart to you; here, Lord abide!
