Savior, visit Thy plantation,
Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain!
All will come to desolation,
Unless Thou return again.
Chorus:
Lord, revive us!
All our help must come from Thee.
Keep no longer at a distance,
Shine upon us from on high!
Lest for want of Thy assistance,
Ev’ry plant should droop and die.
(Chorus)
Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain!
All will come to desolation,
Unless Thou return again.
Chorus:
Lord, revive us!
All our help must come from Thee.
Keep no longer at a distance,
Shine upon us from on high!
Lest for want of Thy assistance,
Ev’ry plant should droop and die.
