Celestial Watering

Saviour! visit Thy plantation;

Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain;

All will come to desolation,

Unless Thou return again.

Keep no longer at a distance--

Shine upon us from on high,

Lest, for want of Thine assistance,

Every plant should droop and die.

Let our mutual love be fervent,

Make us prevalent in prayers;

Let each one, esteemed Thy servant,

Shun the world's enticing snares.

Break the tempter's fatal power;

Turn the stony heart to flesh;

And begin from this good hour,

To revive Thy work afresh.
