Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Common Praise #411 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence praise.
2 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.
*3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 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.
5 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. Topics: Epiphany III Year A; Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Ash Wednesday; Proper 7 Year C; Proper 21 Year B; Lent Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-12 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
He Comes to Us As One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #412 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart;
half seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart,
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name,
for every child of earth,
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Savior and our Lord,
our Savior and our Lord. Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
He Comes to Us As One Unknown
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #419 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
When once we heed Your call:
To live according to Your word,
And daily learn, refreshed, restored,
That You are Lord of all
And will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
Your yoke is hard to bear,
If worldly pressures fray the mind
And love itself cannot unwind
Its tangled skein of care:
Our inward life repair.
3 We mark Your saints, how they became
In hindrances more sure,
Whose joyful virtues put to shame
The casual way we wear Your name,
And by our faults obscure
Your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what You give us, Lord, to do,
Together or alone,
In old routines or ventures new,
May we not cease to look to You--
The cross You hung upon--
All You endeavored done. Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #432 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints became
in hindrances more sure:
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you:
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored, done.
