Dear Lord and Father of Mankind Lyrics by Katherine Jenkins

Serenade

0

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 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
