[00:00]Dear Lord and Father of mankind,[00:06]forgive our foolish ways;[00:12]reclothe us in our rightful mind,[00:18]in purer lives thy service find,[00:25]in deeper reverence, praise.[00:40]In simple trust like theirs who heard[00:48]beside the Syrian sea[00:54]the gracious calling of the Lord,[01:01]let us, like them, without a word[01:08]rise up and follow thee.[01:25]O Sabbath rest by Galilee,[01:32]O calm of hills above,[01:40]where Jesus knelt to share with thee[01:48]the silence of eternity,[01:55]interpreted by love![02:14]Drop thy still dews of quietness,[02:23]till all our strivings cease;[02:29]take from our souls the strain and stress,[02:37]and let our ordered lives confess[02:44]the beauty of thy peace.[03:04]Breathe through the heats of our desire[03:11]thy coolness and thy balm;[03:18]let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;[03:25]speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,[03:34]O still, small voice of calm!
