Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769–1854 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #149 (1985) First Line: As the dew from heav’n distilling Lyrics: 1. As the dew from heav’n distilling
Gently on the grass descends
And revives it, thus fulfilling
What thy providence intends,
2. Let thy doctrine, Lord, so gracious,
Thus descending from above,
Blest by thee, prove efficacious
To fulfill thy work of love.
3. Lord, behold this congregation;
Precious promises fulfill.
From thy holy habitation
Let the dews of life distill.
4. Let our cry come up before thee.
Thy sweet Spirit shed around,
So the people shall adore thee
And confess the joyful sound. Topics: Prayer and Supplication; Revelation; Reverence; Supplication Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:2 Languages: English Tune Title: [As the dew from heav’n distilling]
