When the scorching sun arrives,
Oh, be glad of rain!
Unto eternity.
Their wonted fruit shall bear;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
The healing touch was only felt
These all shall pass,
My sunshine can never depart.
My self exposed.
O God, unblessing and unblest,

Wither

But the word will stand forever.
I have roots by the river of the Lord.
Soon ’twill shine again.
His love never will.
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light
O suffering one, stretch forth your hand,
But, You’re mine
Earth’s pleasures and prospects decline;
And all my strength dissolves away,
A useless cumberer I’m found
