FOR RAIN.
Spirit from the clouds above,
Pour down thy gentle rain;
Accept the humble pray'r of love,
Give us thy dew again!
Pour down thy gentle rain;
Accept the humble pray'r of love,
Give us thy dew again!
The earth is dry, the soil around,
Is powdered into dust!—
The grass grows brown upon the ground,
And looks like fatal rust!
Is powdered into dust!—
The grass grows brown upon the ground,
And looks like fatal rust!
This sabbath day, accept my prayer,
O Lord receive request;
The voice of humble Christians hear,
O let the earth be blest.
O Lord receive request;
The voice of humble Christians hear,
O let the earth be blest.

My thankful spirit shall relate,
Thy goodness Lord this day,
If show'rs of mercy should await,
My wishes whilst I pray.
Thy goodness Lord this day,
If show'rs of mercy should await,
My wishes whilst I pray.
