Elegy for Dunkirk |
| 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. |
| 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! |
