2 O thou who dost command the Clouds, Shall now thy Showers fall? Shall Rain pour out on barren Hearts? And Dews distill as small
3 Upon the sweet and tender Herb, That so the one may be Made soft with Rain, and th' other Refreshed be by thee?

5 That we enjoy thy precious Word, Whilst other barren lye, Who hardly have one drop of Rain Their wants for to supply.
