Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Scripture: Mark 5:15 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 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 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 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!

Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 4 Grant that we all, made one in faith, in your community may find the wholeness that, enriching us, shall reach the whole of humankind.

Immortal Love, Forever Full

Author: J. G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 298 hymnals Scripture: Mark 5:27 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, forever flowing free, forever shared, forever whole, a never ebbing sea. 2 Our outward lips confess the name all other names above; love only knoweth whence it came, and comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heav'nly steeps to bring the Lord Christ down; in vain we search the lowest deeps, for him no depths can drown. 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet a present help is he; and faith has still its Olivet, and love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress is by our beds of pain; we touch him in life's throng and press, and we are whole again. 6 Alone, O love ineffable, thy saving name is given; to turn aside from thee is hell; to walk with thee is heaven.

Our faith is feeble, we confess we faintly trust thy word; but wilt thou pity us the less? Be that far from thee, Lord! 3. Remember him who once applied with trembling for relief; "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried; "O help my unbelief!" 4. She, too, who touched thee in the press and healing virtue stole, was answered, "Daughter, go in peace: thy faith hath made thee whole." 5. Like her, with hopes and fears we come to touch thee if we may; O send us not despairing home; send none unhealed away.

Praise the One who drove out demons with a piercing two edged sword. Praise the one who brings cool water to the desert's burning sand. From this well comes living water quenching thirst in every land. 3 Praise the one true love incarnate: Christ who suffered in our place. Jesus died and rose for many that we may know God by grace.
