Dear Lord and Father of mankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 545 hymnals Topics: Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness 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! O still small voice of calm! Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18 Used With Tune: REPTON

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 934 hymnals Topics: Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heav'n; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement giv'n. 2 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he would not own. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed, there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader than the scope of human mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our hearts would find assurance in the promise of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 130:7 Used With Tune: DAILY DAILY
