God reigns; let the earth be glad! Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

Divine influences compared to rain

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Spirit of God First Line: As showers on meadows newly mown Lyrics: 1 As showers on meadows newly mown, Jesus shall shed his blessings down, Crown'd with whose life-infusing drops, Earth shall renew her blissful crops. 2 Lands that beneath a burning sky, Have long been desolate and dry, Th' effusions of his love shall share, And sudden greens and herbage wear. 3 The dews and rains, in all their store, Drenching the pastures o'er and o'er, Are not so copious as that grace, Which sanctifies and saves our race. 4 As in soft silence vernal showers Descend, and cheer the fainting flowers, So in the secrecy of love Falls the sweet influence from above. 5 That heavenly influence let me find In holy silence of the mind, While every grace maintains it bloom, Diffusing wide its rich perfume. 6 Nor let these blessings be confin'd To me, but pour'd on all mankind, 'Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise, And a young Eden bless our eyes. Scripture: Psalm 72:6
