\nDear Lord and Father of mankind,
\nforgive our foolish ways;
\nreclothe us in our rightful mind,
\nin purer lives thy service find,
\nin deeper reverence, praise.<\/p>\n
2
\nIn simple trust like theirs who heard,
\nbeside the Syrian sea,
\nthe gracious calling of the Lord,
\nlet us, like them, without a word,
\nrise up and follow thee.<\/p>\n
3
\nO sabbath rest by Galilee,
\nO calm of hills above,
\nwhere Jesus knelt to share with thee
\nthe silence of eternity,
\ninterpreted by love!<\/p>\n
4
\nDrop thy still dews of quietness,
\ntill all our strivings cease;
\ntake from our souls the strain and stress,
\nand let our ordered lives confess
\nthe beauty of thy peace.<\/p>\n
5
\nBreathe through the heats of our desire
\nthy coolness and thy balm;
\nlet sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
\nspeak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
\nO still, small voice of calm.<\/p>\n
