Repton, set to the text "Dear Lord and Father of mankind", is found in The
Hymnal 1982 [Episcopal] at #653. It is also in:
Hymns Ancient & Modern (Revised), #184;
The English Hymnal, #383;
The BBC Hymnal, #351;
Songs of Praise, #481
and, I'm sure, quite a few others which I don't have access to at the moment.
There is a stunning arrangement for choir by David Willcocks, in _Hymns for
Choirs_ (Oxford); #26. He sets the third stanza ("O Sabbath rest...") as an
SATB decoration around the melody, which is played in the organ part (and is
to be sung by the congregation as well).
