Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind - Dallas Christian Adult Concert Choir/The Alliance

Dear Lord and Father of mankind

Forgive our foolish ways

Reclothe us in our rightful mind

In purer lives thy service find

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

Oh sabbath rest by Galilee

Oh calm of hills above

Where Jesus knelt to share with thee

The silence of eternity

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

Amen
