The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#122b

122b. Saviour, visit thy plantation

1 Saviour! visit thy plantation;
Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain;
All will come to desolation,
Unless thou return again.

2 Keep no longer at a distance,--
Shine upon us from on high,
Lest, for want of thine assistance,
Every plant should droop and die.

3 Let our mutual love be fervent,
Make us prevalent in prayers;
Let each one esteem'd thy servant
Shun the world's enticing snares.

4 Break the tempter's fatal power;
Turn the stony heart to flesh;
And begin, from this good hour,
To revive thy work afresh.
