As the Dew from Heaven Distilling

Lyrics

1. 1. As the dew from heav’n distilling

   Gently on the grass descends

   And revives it, thus fulfilling

   What thy providence intends,

2. 2. Let thy doctrine, Lord, so gracious,

   Thus descending from above,

   Blest by thee, prove efficacious

   To fulfill thy work of love.

3. 3. Lord, behold this congregation;

   Precious promises fulfill.

   From thy holy habitation

   Let the dews of life distill.

4. 4. Let our cry come up before thee.

   Thy sweet Spirit shed around,

   So the people shall adore thee

   And confess the joyful sound.
