Parry: Dear Lord And Father of Mankind (Album Version)

Dear Lord And Father of Mankind - Katherine Jenkins (凱瑟琳·詹金斯)/Philharmonia Orchestra/Nicholas Dodd

Written by：Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry/John Whittier

Dear lord and father of mankind

Forgive our foolish ways

Reclose us in our rightful mind

In purer lives thy service find

In deeper reverence praise

In deeper reverence praise

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

Rise up and follow thee

O Sabbath rest by galilee

O calm of hills above

Where Jesus knelt to share with thee

The silence of eternity

Interpreted by love

Interpreted by love

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

The beauty of thy peace

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 still small voice of calm
