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
