My favourite setting for this beautiful hymn, especially when we get to verse 3 - perfect as a Communion Distribution Anthem. Stunning. Lovely rendition too, thank you.
1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways: reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives your service find, in deeper reverence praise, 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, obey his word: 'Rise up and follow me, rise up and follow me!' 3 O sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, when Jesus shared on bended knee the silence of eternity interpreted by love, interpreted by love! 4 With that deep hush subduing all our words and works that drown the tender whisper of your call, as noiseless let your blessing fall as fell your manna down, as fell your manna down. 5 Drop your 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 your peace, the beauty of your peace. 6 Breathe through the heats of our desire your coolness and your balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire, speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm, O still small voice of calm!
Beautiful, well-rounded performance! The tenors are especially beautiful from 3:15 to 3:24. Love the organists' build-up at the (I'm an organist too). Bravo!
Bravo! Beautiful!
Sweet memories of my time as a choirboy in England in the 1950s...
Beautifully sung with great sensitivity and feeling brought tears to my eyes.
Stunning!!!!!! Stunning, beautiful, moving, well played and well sung. Thank you so much for sharing.

Bravo Marjorie and Choir - beautifully done!
Beats any current pop song. Beautiful
1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways:
reclothe us in our rightful mind;
in purer lives your service find,
in deeper reverence praise,
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, obey his word:
'Rise up and follow me,
rise up and follow me!'
3 O sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
when Jesus shared on bended knee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
4 With that deep hush subduing all
our words and works that drown
the tender whisper of your call,
as noiseless let your blessing fall
as fell your manna down,
as fell your manna down.
5 Drop your 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 your peace,
the beauty of your peace.
6 Breathe through the heats of our desire
your coolness and your balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire,
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm,
O still small voice of calm!
Beautiful
