As the Dew From Heaven Distilling
As the Dew From Heaven Distilling
1. As the dew from heav’n distilling,
Gently on the grass decends.
And revives it, thus fulfiling
What thy providence intendes,
2. Let thy doctrine, Lord, so gracious
Thus descending from above,
Blest by thee, prove efficacious
To fulfil thy work of love.
3. Lord, behold this congregation;
Precious promises fulfil;
From thy holy habitation
Let the dews of life distil.
4. Let our cry come up before Thee;
Thy sweet Spirit shed around;
So the people shall adore thee
And confess the joyful sound.
