Author: Jerome McCauley Hymnal: Timeless Truths #969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 First Line: What if the little rain should say Lyrics: 1 What if the little rain should say,
“So small a drop as I
Can ne’er refresh those thirsty fields,
I’ll tarry in the sky;
I’ll tarry in the sky,
I’ll tarry in the sky,
I can’t refresh those thirsty fields,
I’ll tarry in the sky”!
2 What if a shining beam of noon
Should in its fountain stay,
Because its feeble light alone
Cannot create a day;
Cannot create a day,
Cannot create a day,
Because its feeble light alone
Cannot create a day!
3 Does not each raindrop help to form
The cool, refreshing show’r?
And every ray of light to warm
And beautify the flow’r?
And beautify the flow’r,
And beautify the flow’r,
And every ray of light to warm
And beautify the flow’r? Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:22 Tune Title: [What if each little rain should say]
What Would Come to Pass?
