1 As softly thro’ the silent hours,
The dew to earth is given,
So Lord, revive our weary powers,
And send us dew from Heaven.
Refrain:
Come, Holy Spirit, like the dew,
Our weary souls refreshing;
Our hearts and minds in Christ renew,
O fill us now with blessing.
2 How hushed and calm the air and hour,
When God the dew distilleth;
How lowly bends the thirsty flower,
As He its blossoms filleth. [Refrain]
3 Thus give us, Lord, the quiet heart,
The lowly mind and merit;
As we for prayer have come apart,
To seek Thy Holy Spirit. [Refrain]
4 Look down upon Thy garden, Lord,
Behold the dry ground riven;
See drooping plant and parching sward,
And send the dew from Heaven. [Refrain]
5 Thy gracious promise, Lord, we plead,
Thy word to Israel given;
O hear our cry, behold our need,
And send the dew from Heaven. [Refrain]
