For Rain

O God our heavenly Father, who by your gracious providence does cause the former and the latter rain to descend upon the earth, that it may bring forth fruit for the use of man;¹

We give you humble thanks that it has pleased you, in our great necessity, to send us at the last a joyful rain upon your inheritance, and to refresh it when it was dry,²

to the great comfort of us your unworthy servants, and to the glory of your holy Name; through your mercies in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.³
