- This is the hymn, 'Dear Lord and Father of mankind', written by John Whittier (1807-92), set to the hymn tune REPTON, composed by C. Hubert H. Parry (1848-1918) from a song in his oratorio, 'Judith'.
It was sung at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey on Monday 13th March 2017.
Sung by the Choir of Westminster Abbey. James O'Donnell is Director of Music and Master of the Choristers at the Abbey.
Disclaimer: I do not own the (contents of the) video, I merely put lyrics over the top.
The Crown Season 5 Episode 8 brought me here tbh. It was sung at the end and during the credits of the episode. Absolutely Beautiful Hymn!
William wanted to watch cartoons before The Queen said if it was possible to find BBC... 😂
Me too
Me too
I wonder if they selected that part of the song in the episode because of the lyrics that played. "Forgive our foolish ways." The Queen was feeling the turmoil and stress of the bombshell interview but was also sharing it with Prince William at the moment too. I'd like to think maybe, just maybe, the queen had some regrets on not addressing Princess Diana's grievances after all. (?)
The Grand Tour is where I heard this from
The pipe organ at Westminster Abbey is nothing short of magnificent
And Liverpool Anglican Cathedral
Some years ago, Dad (1909-1990) told me that this was Winston Churchill's favourite hymn.
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 thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love!
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 desire
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.
Amen.
This one of my very favorite hymns
Beautiful song and beautifully sung. To GOD be the glory!
Certainly one of the greatest text and tune pairings of our age, or any age for that matter! A beautiful rendition.
I want this for my lovely mums funeral. It’s so beautiful - love many hymns so I’m hoping they play this. Bless my lovely mum x
❤
I think this should be sung as the opening hymn at my funeral.
It's one of the best hyms what I have listen with great rejoice in my hearth❤
Jesus Christ live!🙏🙌
Thanks Lord, I woke up now singing it & it blessed my soul
Praise & thank our lord for his creation greatness goodness & most of all his faithful love ❤️ forgiveness & mercy amen & amen❤️🙏💐🌹🌷🌼🌎✌️🙏❤️
They don't write 'em like that anymore! Utterly sublime lyrics and score!
Absolutely. I'm not a native speaker of English but I clearly sense the beauty of these lyrics. What a beautiful, dignified, lofty English!
Many grateful thanks for overlaying the text. It adds to the relevance of worship.
This hymn has always given me comfort and solace.Thanks for posting.
Beautiful. One of my favourite hymns!
I love this hymn. I have sung since my early teens. Now whenever I sing it, I think of my friends in various countries around the world and can hear them singing this hymn. I want this to be sung at my funeral.
May we find ourselves living into this text and give ourselves fully to Christ, not only with our lips, but in our lives.
No thanks
We used to sing this at my old school in the 1980s. It was called Heolddu Comprehensive school in Bargoed, Wales. Pronunciation: " Hay all thee" and Bargoed is pronounced " Bar-goyd". Assembly morning Mr Keri Edwards would walk into the hall with his black robe on from his grammar school days. He was very old school, very strict. Once he called you in loud booming deep voice "You boy " you knew your days were numbered.
Beautiful ❤
Used to love singing this at school assembly in the 50s. It is one of my favourites.
My Lord and God. Thou hast called me unto. Keep me standing in faith and lead me to my therein to Thy eternal bliss. Amen 🙏🏽
Isn't it beautiful, I love how it was sung in the movie 'Atonement' by British soldiers in 'The elegy of Dunkirk' under the soundtrack of Dario Marianelli. I highly recommend watching the movie as well :)
What about Dear Ford and Father of mankind as sung in 'funeral for a ford' at York cathedral in the final episode of The Grand Tour?
@@bornforbanning Haven't seen this one yet, thanks for the tipp!
@@carowiedasmuster5672 Here you go. There are longer versions with the full segment on youtube: czcams.com/video/80WPyZ7M8jE/video.html
@@bornforbanning Great thanks! And here is the elegy of Dunkirk if you haven't seen it yet. Very different to your reference though & pretty amazingly dramatic pictures. :)
Yes!
I so love this.
To GOD to honor and the glory.!✝️
I loathe religion but this is a tune that takes me back to my childhood.
Anybody else here cause they watched the last episode of The Grand Tour?
The organ build up at 2:22 was nice. Very nice hymn
Take from our souls the strain and stress - so relevant today ....... x
I love this song
Trying to watch this while my laptop is having a meltdown: "oh please just stop crashing, oh please just stop crashing"
Great hymn
My all time favourite hymn ken Fagan Australia
It was the one of very preferred hymns by Princess Diana of Wales. I do love these lyrics and music too. Is just an great rendition of what we humans (with our little horizon) can see in Lord!
Pray tell me how you know this was a "preferred hymn" of Diana?? When did she speak of it?
@@karleinegraham446/ When She was alive. I've had a contact with few person who directly worked with her. And I was concerting artist who's task was - simply and merely- to know royalty's taste in music. I played few times at Highgrove too. Do you have any problem with that???
@@saragrant3667 Thank you! My prayer for Diana, and all of us believers, is that like the prophet Elijah in 1st Kings 19: 11-13, we too hear "the still small voice of God". Jesus is our Savior and model and We can trust in God' s mercy for us.
@@saragrant3667 I would love to visit Prince Charles' gardens at Highgrove, if I visit the 🇬🇧 UK again. I saw a program once, where. a musical piece, called the Highgrove Suite I believe, was featured. Now that is a gentleman with love and
appreciation of good music!
Perfect for reflection....
This is one of my favorite hymns. Hope it will be played in the Queen's funeral.
“Dear Ford and father of mankind” that’s what I’m always gonna sing
Same!
Those who think it is a good idea to change the texts of a hymn, especially the sacrilegious publisher Kevin Mathew, have a lot to answer for.
@@sb6678 you didn't watch the Grand Tour right?
so beautiful
I sang this with CCF at Memorial Day. It really was something
Here we are gathered in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II, may she rest in peace
No, we are gathered here to celebrate the gracious calling of the Lord, Christ is Risen!
May we commemorate Lord Jesus Christ who is risen
Good song
I wish I could just have faith, I wish I was a simpler being who could just believe. I can't believe and it's tearing me apart, forever more it will because there is no real proof, I need help
Ask God for a sign...his wonders are all around you!
Amen.
❤ beautiful hymn - PARRY version is my favorite 🎶🎶❤️💕
I so much love this song...😩😩🥰🙏🙌
I'm not religious at all (neutral) , and I have left the church, but I can't deny this song brings out something peaceful and raw deep down in me.. Very calming and Very gorgeous song
May Christ our lord come to your heart and transform your life
This hymn has an interesting history, the words were written by a Quaker [Quakers do not sing hymns]. The words were found by aa schoolmaster in Derbyshire m England and set to music [perhaps he wanted to get the children to sing it in assembly, it is not unusual for teachers to write songs/hymn and get the children in the school to sing them]. Not so sure how it became more generally well known.
What was the occasion for this service at Westminster??
It's been written in the description x
This beloved hymn goes well with Psalm 37:5 and Luke 5:1-11.
Damn this video is really bass boosted to the max
I don't believe in God but I love this hymn.
Music is THE universal language it transcends beliefs
😯😯😯😯I believe. Very , Very mucht.
He died for salvation Allan sinner.
My english is Very poor , but I loveJesus.💓
Hope that you will believe one day, Nicholas 🙏
Take care☀️
When the thunder roars and the lightning flashes...who you think created it...Bill Gates?
He believes in you.
That had an effect on me.
Watch the incredible Steadycam sequence as the Allies wait on the beach in the film Atonement. Marianelli based the music on this hymn, the soldiers in the bandstand are singing it. Powerful stuff, from an era we can barely understand any longer.

Maravilhoso! MARANATA!
Sad that none of the schoolchildren seemed capable of singing along.
Nor did the Prince of Wales.
The congregation could have given it some more welly.
There is much beauty in make believe.
Dear Ford and Father of Mankind
The Crown sent me!
