In the film Atonement, “Elegy for Dunkirk” is heard in a scene where three soldiers walk around the beach at Dunkirk as the Belgian, French, and English armies prepare for and/or await their evacuation. At one point, the men pass a choir of soldiers singing the hymn “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind”...
The tender whisper of Thy call
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
As fell Thy manna down
As fell Thy manna down
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
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
O still, small voice of calm
