2 How sweet are Dews unto the Herb, It makes them richly smile; So doth thy Word bedew oft-times Thy own true Israel.
3 It makes our Graces to send forth A rare and fragrant scent, Which doth delight the holy One, The Lord omnipotent.
4 But Dews will not, Lord, always do, Mens hearts so barren are; Some soaking showers they must have, If any Fruit they bear.
5 All praise and glory unto God Who wisely orders things, That as our wants and needs appear, His Mercies flow like Springs.
