Dear Lord and Father of mankind by Frederick Charles Maker — 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.

About Dear Lord and Father of mankind
This well-loved hymn text expresses a humble plea for forgiveness and a desire to return to a simpler, more devoted way of life, seeking to hear and follow God's call with the same readiness as the disciples by the Sea of Galilee. Frederick Charles Maker sets these devotional words for SATB choir in English. The music is conceived in the spirit of the hymn tune, offering a devotional atmosphere suitable for church services or reflective gatherings. Its arrangement for four-part mixed voices allows for a rich harmonic setting of the sincere text.
