The Third Part.
1 Thy Ministers are like to Clouds Who do the Rain retain; Of them thou dost make equal use To pour it out again.
2 O let us then cry unto God His Clouds may all be full, Not empty ones which hold no Rain, But do deceive the Soul,
3 And pray that we may always have Rain as we do it need, That Grace may grow, and in us all Spring up like to choice Seed,
4 And praise the glorious God above Who doth such Blessings send; If we his Mercies do improve, Our days will joyful end.
