Rain

Rain again!  Oh, heaven blessed!
The earth drinks in with laughter
‘Twas dry so long and cursed it seemed
Would perish ever after
But listen, can you hear it?
The patter on the roof
Sounding now like horses
A thousand on the hoof
Oh, Father, You are faithful
To the cry from earnest heart
Your aid is ever coming
For You always do Your part
Let this rain flow from Your heavens
‘Til the earth has had her fill
And bring to life hearts’ foliage
When all is calm and still

Reveal to us Your wonder

That full of awe we’ll stand
Hearts aflame, praising You
For Your works in all the land
