To gain the height all seek to win

A PRAYER FOR RAIN.

The thirsting earth. o Lord,
Looks iongingly to Thee;
One common prayer is poured
From herb and flower and tree.
On stony beds the rills
Have hushed their happy song.
And on a thousand hills
For food Thy cattle long.
The patient farmers spend
In toll the weary hours,
Trusting that Thou wilt send
The increase with Thy showers.
And we, though we forget
And make Thy mercies vain.
We are Thy children yet
Send rain. o Lord, send raini
