Author: Wm. Leslie Hymnal: Redemption Songs #933 (1937) First Line: Our service for God has been barren and dry Refrain First Line: There's sound of abundance of rain Lyrics: 1 Our service for God has been barren and dry,
And barren it still shall remain,
Until we are blest with the fire from on high,
And sound of abundance of rain.
Refrain:
There's sound of abundance of rain,
There's sound of abundance of rain;
To God we draw near, and by faith we can hear
The sound of abundance of rain.
2 The prophets of Pride and the priests of Desire
Are calling and cutting in vain;
The halting are waiting for witness of fire,
And sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]
3 The altars of God that our sins have destroy'd
We must build with the things that remain;
And prove to the world that no promise is void
By sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]
4 To each may the faith of Elijah be giv'n,
To pray till the answer we gain,
And sinners acknowledge the witness of heav'n,
And sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain] Topics: Choir Pieces Languages: English Tune Title: [Our service for God has been barren and dry]
