<p>Winter reigns o’er many a region,<br>
|
|
Many a seed field fallow lies;<br>
|
|
When, O Lord, shall come the springtime,<br>
|
|
With its quickening energies?<br>
|
|
When shall this long night be ended?<br>
|
|
When the morning dawn appear?<br>
|
|
When shall drought give place to freshness?<br>
|
|
When these deserts bloom with cheer?</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, Thy Church is ever praying:<br>
|
|
Now her anxious yearnings hear;<br>
|
|
Speed the triumphs of Thy kingdom;<br>
|
|
Spread its vict’ries far and near;<br>
|
|
Own the work, Thy grace attend it,<br>
|
|
Which we undertake for Thee;<br>
|
|
Let a holy love inflame us;<br>
|
|
Kindle zeal and fervency.</p>
|
|
<p>That Thy fields be rightly cultured,<br>
|
|
Send the laborers that we need,<br>
|
|
Men to light the heavy darkness,<br>
|
|
Sow the wastes with precious seed.<br>
|
|
Then send down the gentle showers,<br>
|
|
Make Thy gracious sunlight shine,<br>
|
|
That each field may joy with blessing,<br>
|
|
Bringing forth the fruits divine.</p>
|
|
<p>By the breezes of Thy Spirit,<br>
|
|
Fan all deadness into life;<br>
|
|
Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing,<br>
|
|
Keep each plant from blast and strife.<br>
|
|
And, ye toilers in this seeding,<br>
|
|
Know the promise God hath given:<br>
|
|
Glorious crowns await the faithful,<br>
|
|
And eternal gains in heaven.</p>
