Tune: St Timothy
(\'O Holy Ghost, thy people bless\')
**********
Is heart dry as an arid land?
Need showers from God\'s hand?
Come, hot and tired and weary, rest
Be in God\'s presence blessed
Showers upon the thirst ground
He shall scatter around
The parched grass shall be green again
He shall refresh it then
And too, water of life he be
To quench our dry souls, see
Inspire us with His Spirit, so
His graces we shall know
O leave us, Lord, not desolate
As if in desert set
May streams abound, your healing balm
Protect us from all harm
