Original text and translations
English text
- 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 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.
- With that deep hush subduing all
- Our words and works that drown
- The tender whisper of Thy call,
- As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
- As fell Thy manna down.
- 5.
- 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.
- 6.
- 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.
