Dear Lord and Father of mankind,

Forgive our foolish ways!

Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,

In purer lives thy service find,
Bm A
In deeper reverence praise.
G
In deeper reverence praise.
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
In simple trust like theirs who heard,

Beside the Syrian sea,
G A
The gracious calling of the Lord,

Let us, like them, without a word
Bm A
Rise up and follow thee.
G D
Rise up and follow thee.
[Verse 3]

O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
G F#m
O calm of hills above,
G A
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
Bm C
The silence of eternity,
Bm A
Interpreted by love!
G
Interpreted by love!
[Verse 4]
D A Bm
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
A D
Till all our strivings cease,
G A
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
Bm C
And let our ordered lives confess
Bm A
The beauty of thy peace.
G D
The beauty of thy peace.
[Verse 5]
Bm A
Breathe through the heats of our desire
G F#m
Thy coolness and thy balm,
G A
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire,
Bm C
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
Bm A
O still small voice of calm!
G
O still small voice of calm!
