about

words by John Greenleaf Whittier
music by Frederick Charles Maker

lyrics

Dear Lord & Father of mankind, forgive our feverish ways
Reclothe us in our rightful mind
In purer lives, thy service find
In deeper reverence, praise

Drop thy still dews of quietness 'til all our strivings cease
Take from our souls the strain & stress
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace

Breathe thro' the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire
Speak thro' the earthquake, wind, & fire
O, still, small voice of calm
