As the Dew from Heaven Distilling

1. As the dew from heav’n distillingGently on the grass descendsAnd revives it, thus fulfillingWhat thy providence intends,

2. Let thy doctrine, Lord, so gracious,Thus descending from above,Blest by thee, prove efficaciousTo fulfill thy work of love.

3. Lord, behold this congregation;Precious promises fulfill.From thy holy habitationLet the dews of life distill.

4. Let our cry come up before thee.Thy sweet Spirit shed around,So the people shall adore theeAnd confess the joyful sound.
