[D]Dea[A]r[Adim][Em][Asus4][D]
Lord and Father [A]of man[Bm]kind,

[D]In simple trust [A]like theirs [Bm]who heard,
Be[G]side [D]the Syrian [A]sea,[D]
The [B]gracious [Em]calli[G]ng o[A]f the Lord,
Let [D]us, like [G]them, [A]without a [D]word,

[B]Breathe [E]through [Bm]the

Thy [E]coolness and [B]thy balm;
Let sense [C#]be d[F#m]umb, let f[B]lesh retire;
Speak [C#m]through [A]the earthquake, [B]wind, and fire,
[E]O s[B]til[F#m]l, small voice of c[B]alm.[B]
O still, small voice of calm.
