Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 502 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper rev'rence praise,
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,
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!
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,
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!

a mind renewed, a spirit blessed,
a life where Christ is manifest,
an understanding heart,
an understanding heart.

and stand by faith before him still
in righteousness divine,

Eternal Light! Eternal Light
Author: Thomas Binney, 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light!
How pure that soul must be,
when, placed within thy searching sight,
it shrinks not, but with calm delight
can live and look on thee.
2 The spirits that surround thy throne
may bear the burning bliss;
but surely that is theirs alone,
since they have never, never known
a fallen world like this,
3 O how shall I, whose native sphere
is dark, whose mind is dim,
before the Ineffable appear,
and on my naked spirit bear
the uncreated beam?
4 There is a way for man to rise
to that sublime abode;
an offering and a sacrifice,
a Holy Spirit's energies,
an Advocate with God:
5 These, these prepare us for the sight
of holiness above:
the sons of ignorance and night
may dwell in the eternal light,
through the eternal Love! Topics: Sunday Next Before Lent; Proper 26 Year B Scripture: 1 John 1:1-5 Used With Tune: REPTON

He Comes to Us as One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart,
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart,
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name
for ev'ry child of earth,
for ev'ry child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Savior, and our Lord,
our Savior, and our Lord.

May Christ, the Lord of Cana's feast
Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 May Christ, the Lord of Cana's feast,
who made the water wine,
be welcomed as the honoured guest,
our risen Master now confessed.
God's messenger and sign:
God's messenger and sign.
2 What God has joined, we hear him say,
let no-one tear apart!
With his two servants here today
may Christ's own love for ever stay,
true bond of mind and heart;
true bond of mind and heart.
3 Whatever joys or sorrows come,
may steadfastness be their!
God's truth and kindness grace their home,
his presence fill the humblest room,
his Spirit stir their prayers;
his Spirit stir their prayers.
4 With brightened eyes of faith we'll see
God's plan for them made plain:
so shall our hearts together be
uplifted in the Trinity
and echo the amen;
and echo the amen.
