Dear Lord and Father of mankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #652 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 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.

O Thou Whose Gracious Presence Blest

Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5430 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Thou whose gracious presence blest The home at Bethany, This shelter from the world’s unrest, This home made ready for its Guest, We dedicate to Thee. 2. When Thou didst pass the temple gate, To pray beneath its dome, It was Thy Father’s house, more great Because by love made consecrate; It was Thine only home. 3. We build an altar here, and pray That Thou wilt show Thy face, Dear Lord, if Thou wilt come to stay, This home we consecrate today Will be a holy place. Languages: English Tune Title: REST (Maker)

Oh Thou All Holy, Wise And Just

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15776 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh Thou all holy, wise and just, Whom Heav’n and earth obey; Thou only object of my trust, Whose word can sink me into dust, Or raise my feeble clay. 2 Yielding to what Thou shalt propose, Behold, Thy creature lies; Resigned to dwell along with those, who in the silent rave repose, Or to new health arise. 3 If now the last decisive day Of my frail life draw near, My soul while fainting with dismay, From rising crimes in dread array, Do Thou with mercy cheer. 4 Or if my past iniquity, My dying hour molest, Yet oh then save me when I die, Nor to my parting soul deny, An entrance into rest. 5 But if Thy boundless grace should spare My fleeting life again; Let sin no more my soul ensnare, But love and warm devotion there, In blissful union reign. 6 This for the honor of Thy name, And through the Savior’s blood, Not as desert, but grace I claim, And in the most submissive frame, Implore of Thee, my God.
