Thirsting, as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek, as God of heaven, Thee as man for sinners slain. 3 Savior, lo, the isles are waiting, Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new-creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light.

E'er hath the Lord Done great things by His word, And still doth bare His arm His wonders to perform; Hence we should in every clime Magnify His name sublime, Who doth shield us from all harm. 3 In Jesus' name We live and we will die; If then we live, His love we will proclaim; If we die, we gain thereby. In Jesus' name, Who from heaven to us came, We shall again rise To meet Him in the skies, When at last, saved by His grace, We shall see Him face to face, Live with Him in Paradise.
