Gideon's Fleece
Hymnal: Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs, for the use of religious assemblies and private Christians #AXIV (1802) Hymnal Title: Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs, for the use of religious assemblies and private Christians First Line: The signs which God to Gideon gave Lyrics: 1 The signs which God to Gideon gave,
His holy sovereignty make known;
That he alone has power to save,
And claims the glory as his own.
2 The dew which first the fleece had fill'd,
When all the earth was dry around;
Was from it afterwards withheld,
And only fell upon the ground.
3 To Israel thus the heav'nly dew,
Of saving truth, was long restrain'd;
Of which the gentiles nothing knew,
But dry and desolate remain'd.
4 But now the gentiles have receiv'd
The balmy dew of gospel grace;
And Israel, who his spirit griev'd,
Is left a dry, and empty fleece.
5 This dew still falls at his command,
To keep his chosen plants alive,
They shall, tho' in a thirsty land,
Like willows by the waters thrive.
6 But chiefly when his people meet,
To hear his word, and seek his face:
The gentle dew, with influence sweet,
Descends, and nourishes their grace.
7 But ah! what numbers still are dead,
Tho' under means of grace they life,
The dew still falling round their head,
And yet their hearts untouch'd, and dry.
8 Dear Savior, hear us when we call;
To wrestling prayer an answer give;
Pour down thy dew upon us all,
That all may feel, and all may life.

His holy sovereignty made known;
That He alone has power to save,
And claims the glory as His own.
2 The dew which first the fleece had filled,
When all the earth was dry around;
Was from it afterwards withheld,
And only fell upon the ground.
3 To Israel thus the heavenly dew
Of saving truth was long restrained;
Of which the Gentiles nothing knew,
But dry and desolate remained.
4 But now the Gentiles have received
The balmy dew of Gospel peace;
And Israel, who His Spirit grieved,
Is left a dry and empty fleece.
5 This dew still falls at His command,
To keep His chosen plants alive;
They shall, tho’ in a thirsty land,
Like willows by the waters thrive.
6 But chiefly when His people meet,
To hear His word and seek His face;
The gentle dew, with influence sweet,
Descends and nourishes their grace.
7 But ah! what numbers still are dead,
Tho’ under means of grace they lie!
The dew still falling round their head,
And yet their heart untouched and dry.
8 Dear Savior, hear us when we call,
To wrestling prayer an answer give;
Pour down Thy dew upon us all,
That all may feel, and all may live. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA
