Dear Lord and Father of Mankind is a well-known hymn text written by John Greenleaf Whittier in 1872. The hymn is a prayer for peace, calmness, forgiveness, and guidance, asking God to help people live quietly and faithfully. It is especially admired for its gentle and reflective words.
The hymn is most commonly used in Christian church services, particularly in Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, and other Protestant traditions. It is very popular in the United Kingdom, where it is often sung at weddings, funerals, remembrance services, school ceremonies, and traditional worship services. The best-known musical setting is the tune “Repton,” composed by Hubert Parry.
