Lyrics
-
1. As the dew from heav'n distillingGently on the grass descendsAnd revives it, thus fulfillingWhat thy providence intends,
-
2. Let thy doctrine, Lord, so gracious,Thus descending from above,Blest by thee, prove efficaciousTo fulfill thy work of love.
-
3. Lord, behold this congregation;Precious promises fulfill.From thy holy habitationLet the dews of life distill.
-
4. Let our cry come up before thee.Thy sweet Spirit shed around,So the people shall adore theeAnd confess the joyful sound.
