O ye Showers and Dew, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

O ye Showers and Dew, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.

O bless the Lord, ye Dews and Showers,
O'er all the earth His praise distil;
Increase the music of the rill,
Enrich the greenness of the bowers;
Freshen the faces of the flowers,
The laughing plains with plenty fill:
O bless the Lord, ye Dews and Showers,
O'er all the earth His praise distil.
Ye Dews that cool the sultry hours,
Ye rains that work His secret will
In field and garden, vale and hill—
The love is His, the boon is ours:
O bless the Lord, ye Dews and Showers,
O'er all the earth His praise distil.
