1 Shine forth, O Lord, upon our Souls, And let thy Showers fall, That so we may be rooted well, And flourish great and small.
1 SHine forth, O Lord, upon our Souls, And let thy Showers fall, That so we may be rooted well, And flourish great and small.
2 We have a sweet reviving time, Who lately seemed as dead; When shall we be as in the prime? O raise our withered Head!
2 We have a sweet reviving time, Who lately seem'd as dead; When shall we be as in the prime? O raise our withered Head!
3 We have had a sore Winters day, A pinching time was here; But shall such Weather fly away, And springing times draw near?
4 We praise thy great and glorious Name For Seasons we have had, O let us not be put to shame, But in thy self be glad.
