1 The former Rain was poured out, It was a mighty shower; So shall the latter Rain come down Before this day is o'er.
2 A little at one time, again We have a little more; Thus doth thy Word like unto Rain Refresh thy blessed Poor.
3 Rain makes the Earth both fresh & green, And every thing to grow; Tis by thy Word and Spirit; Lord, We thrive and flourish do.
3 Rain makes the Earth both fresh & green, And ev'ry thing to grow; Tis by thy Word and Spirit; Lord, We thrive and flourish do.
4 There's none can stop the Rain that falls, If thou Commission give, Thy Word shall come upon us all, Thy Grace shall make us live.
