Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind

(Hymnal Song)

[Verse 1]
     D        G      D
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Em7          G       D
Forgive our foolish ways;
Em7           G      A        A7
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
   D     G         A       Asus4
In purer lives Thy service find,
   D      G         D       Dsus4    D
In deeper reverence praise.
   Em7     G         D
In deeper reverence praise.

[Verse 2]
     D        G      D
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Em7          G       D
Beside the Syrian sea,
Em7           G      A        A7
The gracious calling of the Lord,
   D     G         A       Asus4
Let us, like them, without a word,
   D      G         D       Dsus4    D
Rise up and follow Thee.
   Em7     G         D
Rise up and follow Thee.

[Verse 3]
     D        G      D
O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
Em7          G       D
O calm of hills above,
Em7           G      A        A7
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
   D     G         A       Asus4
The silence of eternity,
   D      G         D       Dsus4    D
Interpreted by love!
   Em7     G         D
Interpreted by love!

[Verse 4]
     D        G      D
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Em7          G       D
Till all our strivings cease;
Em7           G      A        A7
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
   D     G         A       Asus4
And let our ordered lives confess
   D      G         D       Dsus4    D
The beauty of Thy peace.
   Em7     G         D
The beauty of Thy peace.

[Verse 5]
     D        G      D
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Em7          G       D
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Em7           G      A        A7
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
   D     G         A       Asus4
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
   D      G         D       Dsus4    D
O still, small voice of calm
   Em7     G         D
O still, small voice of calm
