\nBenediction<\/p>\n
MP 111 – Dear Lord and Father of mankind
\n1. Dear Lord and Father of Mankind,
\nforgive our foolish ways;
\nre-clothe us in our rightful mind;
\nin purer lives Thy service find,
\nin deeper reverence, praise.<\/p>\n
2. In simple trust like theirs who heard,
\nbeside the Syrian sea,
\nthe gracious calling of the Lord,
\nlet us, like them, without a word
\nrise up and follow Thee.<\/p>\n
3. O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
\nO calm of hills above,
\nwhere Jesus knelt to share with Thee
\nthe silence of eternity,
\ninterpreted by love!<\/p>\n
4. With that deep hush subduing all
\nour words and works that drown
\nthe tender whisper of Thy call,
\nas noiseless let Thy blessing fall
\nas fell Thy manna down.<\/p>\n
5. Drop Thy still dew of quietness,
\ntill all our strivings cease;
\ntake from our souls
\nthe strains and stress,
\nand let our ordered lives confess
\nthe beauty of Thy peace.<\/p>\n
6. Breathe through the hears of our desire
\nThy coolness and Thy balm;
\nlet sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
\nspeak through the earthquake,
\nwind and fire,
\nO still small voice of calm!<\/p>\n

\nThat day when evening came, he said to his disciples, \u201cLet us go over to the other side.\u201d 36\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, \u201cTeacher, don\u2019t you care if we drown?\u201d
\nHe got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves,\u00a0\u201cQuiet! Be still!\u201d\u00a0Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
\nHe said to his disciples,\u00a0\u201cWhy are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?\u201d
\nThey were terrified and asked each other, \u201cWho is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!\u201d<\/p>\n
\n1. My life flows on in endless song
\nabove earth’s lamentation:
\ni catch the sweet, though far off, hymn
\nthat hails a new creation.
\nChorus:
\nNo storm can shade my inmost calm
\nwhile to that Rock I’m clinging.
\nSince love is Lord of heaven and earth,
\nhow can I keep from singing?<\/p>\n
\nI hear that music ringing.
\nIt finds an echo in my soul –
\nhow can I keep from singing?<\/p>\n
\nThe Lord, my Saviour, liveth.
\nWhat though the darkness round me close?
\nSongs in the night he giveth.<\/p>\n
\na fountain ever springing.
\nAll things are mine since I am his!
\nHow can I keep from singing?<\/p>\n
\n1. Will your anchor hold in the storms of strife,
\nwhen the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
\nWhen the string tides lift, and the cable strain,
\nwill your anchor drift, or firm remain?
\nChorus: We have an anchor that keeps the soul
\nsteadfast and sure while the billows roll;
\nfastened to the rock which cannot more,
\ngrounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!<\/p>\n
\nwhen the breakers roar and the reef is near?
\nWhile the surges rage, and the wild wind blows,
\nshall the angry waves, then your bark o’erflow?<\/p>\n
\nwhen the waters cold chill your latest breath?
\nOn the rising tided you can never fail,
\nwhile your anchor holds within the veil.<\/p>\n
\nthe city of gold and the harbour bright?
\nWill you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
\nwhen life’s storms are past for evermore?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
