1. Savior, 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 would droop and die. | |||
3. Surely, once 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.}} | |||

Filled with zeal, and love, and truth? | |||
Old professors, tall as cedars, | |||
Bright examples to our youth! | |||

We shall meet no more below; | |||
Some, alas! we fear are blighted, | |||
Scarce a single leaf they show. | |||

Covered thick with blossoms stood; | |||
But they cause us grief at present, | |||
Frosts have nipped them in the bud! | |||

Thou canst make them bloom again; | |||
O, permit them not to wither, | |||
Let not all our hopes be vain!}} | |||

Turn the stony heart to flesh; | |||
