1
\nDear Lord and Father of mankind,
\nForgive our foolish ways;
\nReclothe us in our rightful mind,
\nIn purer lives Thy service find,
\nIn deeper reverence, praise.<\/p>\n
2
\nIn simple trust like theirs who heard,
\nBeside the Syrian sea,
\nThe gracious calling of the Lord,
\nLet us, like them, without a word,
\nRise up and follow Thee.<\/p>\n
3
\nO Sabbath rest by Galilee,
\nO calm of hills above,
\nWhere Jesus knelt to share with Thee
\nThe silence of eternity,
\nInterpreted by love!<\/p>\n
4
\nDrop Thy still dews of quietness,
\nTill all our strivings cease;
\nTake from our souls the strain and stress,
\nAnd let our ordered lives confess
\nThe beauty of Thy peace.<\/p>\n
5
\nBreathe through the heats of our desire
\nThy coolness and Thy balm;
\nLet sense be dumb, Let flesh retire;
\nSpeak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
\nO still, small voice of calm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
