Celestial Watering

John Newton (1779) • English

Primary Scripture: Job 29:23

Verse 1

Saviour! visit Thy plantation; Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain; All will come to desolation, Unless Thou return again.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Let our mutual love be fervent, Make us prevalent in prayers; Let each one, esteemed Thy servant, Shun the world's enticing snares.

Verse 4

Break the tempter's fatal power; Turn the stony heart to flesh; And begin from this good hour, To revive Thy work afresh.
