335 Return Again

Tune: William L. Williams, 1850

Words: John Newton, 1779

Meter: 8s,7s (8,7,8,7)

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)
