Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 519 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:9 Lyrics: 1 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.
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!

I know that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives!

What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives--my ever-living head.

He lives, to bleed for me above;
He lives, my hungry soul to feed;
He lives, to help in time of need.
3 He lives, and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives, my mansion to prepare--
He lives, to bring me safely there.
4 He lives--all glory to his name!
He lives--my Jesus, still the same;
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
I know that my Redeemer lives!

And meekly bow'd His head and died.
'Tis finished—yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won.

And all the ancient prophets said
Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd,
In me the Savior of mankind.

Must stain his robes with purple gore:
The sacred veil is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.

Shall sins of ev'ry kind atone:
Millions shall be redeem'd from death,
By this my last expiring breath.
5 'Tis finish'd—heav'n is reconcil'd
To God and pow'rs of darkness spoil'd;
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.
6'Tis finish'd—let the joyful sound
Be heard thro' all the nations round:
'Tis finish'd_let the echo fly
Thro' heav'n and hell, thro' earth and sky.

Would all mankind embrace.
