As soft­ly thro’ the si­lent hours,
The dew to earth is giv­en,
So Lord, re­vive our wea­ry pow­ers,
And send us dew from Hea­ven.

Refrain

Come, Ho­ly Spi­rit, like the dew,
Our wea­ry souls re­fresh­ing;
Our hearts and minds in Christ re­new,
O fill us now with bless­ing.

How hushed and calm the air and hour,
When God the dew dis­till­eth;
How low­ly bends the thirs­ty flow­er,
As He its blos­soms filleth.

Refrain

Thus give us, Lord, the qui­et heart,
The low­ly mind and mer­it;
As we for pray­er have come apart,
To seek Thy Ho­ly Spi­rit.

Refrain

Look down up­on Thy gar­den, Lord,
Behold the dry ground riv­en;
See droop­ing plant and parch­ing sward,
And send the dew from Hea­ven.

Refrain

Thy gra­cious pro­mise, Lord, we plead,
Thy word to Is­ra­el giv­en;
O hear our cry, be­hold our need,
And send the dew from Hea­ven.
