This is from today's Vespers Office (Divine Hour).

It spoke to me and where I'm at...the last line in particular. I've said enough.Lord let me come after you withough a word...

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

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.

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.

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!

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.

John G. Whittier
