Laudes Domini ‎#627

627. Help from above

1 My heart lies dead; and no increase
Doth my dull husbandry improve:
Oh, let thy graces, without cease,
Drop from above.

2 Thy dew doth every morning fall:
And shall the dew outstrip thy Dove?--
The dew for which earth cannot call,
Drop from above!

3 The world is tempting still my heart
Unto a hardness void of love;
Let heavenly grace, to cross its art
Drop from above!

4 Oh, come; for thou dost know the way!
Or if to me thou wilt not move,
Remove me where I need not say,
"Drop from above!"
