Dear Lord and Father of mankind

from Falling asleep by Richard Jensen

/

about

Words: John Greenleaf Whittier
Tune: Hubert Parry

lyrics

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways.
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.

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.

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.
