Revival Implored

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #562 (1888) Scripture: Habakkuk 3:2 First Line: Saviour, visit thy plantation! Lyrics: 1 Saviour, visit thy plantation! Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain: All will come to desolation, Unless thou return again. 2 Keep no longer at a distance, Shine upon us from on high, Lest, for want of thine assistance, Every plant should droop and die. 3 Once, O Lord, thy garden flourished; Every part looked gay and green; Then thy word our spirits nourished Happy seasons we have seen. 4 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see: Lord, thy help is greatly needed: Help can only come from thee. 5 Let our mutual love be fervent; Make us prevalent in prayer; Let each one esteemed thy servant Shun the world's bewitching snare. 6 Break the tempter's fatal power, Turn the stony heart to flesh, And begin from this good hour To revive thy work afresh.

The Lord will provide

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #363 (1888) Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17 First Line: Though troubles assail, and dangers affright Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without barn or store-house, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through: Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, "The Lord will provide."

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #56 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the child of God who sings; it is the Lord who rises with healing in His wings. When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again a season of clear shining to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation we sweetly then pursue the theme of God’s salvation and find it ever new; set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, “Let the unknown tomorrow bring with it what it may.” 3 It can bring with it nothing but He will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe His people, too; beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed; and He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither expected fruit should bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there; yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, for while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.
