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.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.O Sabbath rest by Galilee,O calm of hills above,Where Jesus knelt to share with TheeThe silence

My heart was heavy, for its trust had beenAbused, its kindness answered with foul wrong;So, turning gloomily from my fellow-men,One summer Sabbath day I strolled amongthe green mounds of the village burial place;Where, pondering how all human love and hateFind on sad level- and how, soon orlate,Wronged and wrong-doer, each with meekened face,And cold hands folded over a still heart,Pass the green
