hymn
(a song for saints and mad men)
dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
recloth us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives Thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.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.breathe through the heats of our desires
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...
