Dear Lord and Father of Mankind.
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind:
in purer lives your service find,
in deeper rev' rence, praise.
2.
Drop your 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 your peace.
