| 1 | Lo! The firmament doth bear
Floods of water high in air,
Whence each day the dew and rain
Fall upon the thirsty plain,
Soon to mount to heaven again: |
| 2 | Emblem of the grace in store
In God’s Presence evermore,
That on lowly hearts and true
Falling like the silent dew
To its Fountain mounts anew. |
| 3 | Day by day, then, be it ours,
Lord, to drink those holy showers;
That within our souls may lie
Wells of water never dry,
Springing up to heaven most high. |
| 4 | Thou Who dost the Spirit give,
Fount of life, by which we live:
Biding in His peaceful ways
Bear we all our earthly days
Fruit of love and holy praise. |
| 5 | Thou Who tookest flesh and blood,
That our eyes might look on God:
To Thy Name all glory be,
In the Blessèd Trinity,
Now and to eternity. Amen. |

| 1 | Lo, the Father hears our prayer:
Unto failing hearts to bear
All Christ promised ere He rose,
Forth today the Spirit goes. |
| 2 | As the Life-Giver draws nigh,
Signs and wonders multiply:
First through all the house there past
Sounds, as of a rushing blast; |
| 3 | Flakes of fire fell fast, and hung,
Each one like a burning tongue,
In the pure thin air, and shed
Luster upon every head. |
| 4 | Then the flames that lit each brow,
Passing thence– we know not how–
To their inmost spirit, pour
Light and strength unknown before. |
| 5 | Marveling much the nations heard
Preached in every tongue the Word;
All that seers had e’er discerned,
Told again in words that burned. |
| 6 | On the hearers then was poured
Forth the Spirit of the Lord:
Thick as sheaves at harvest-tide
They arose and prophesied. |
| 7 | Praise the Father; praise the Son;
Equal honor, too, be done
Unto Him, Who can inspire
Human hearts with flaming fire. Amen. |
