On Carmel

lyricist: Mary McLean, 1894
Composer: Rollin Ward

Go with Eli­jah to Car­mel

bro­ther

There is dearth in all the plain.

Stay in the val­ley no long­er

bro­ther

For the Lord has pro­mised rain.

Pray on and nev­er grow wea­ry

Waiting

wait­ing for the pro­mised rain;

Pray on and nev­er grow wea­ry

Watching

pray­ing

watch­ing

pray­ing

For the gra­cious rain.

Pray on the sum­mit of Car­mel

bro­ther

Hiding from the world away.

Plead there with God for His peo­ple

bro­ther

For the show­ers of bless­ing pray.

Watch from the sum­mit of Car­mel

bro­ther

Watch for clouds thro’ the sky be clear.

Watch while you pray for the com­ing show­ers

Watch

for God your pray­ers will hear.

Hark! to a voice from the mount­ains

bro­ther

Waiting in the dus­ty plain.

Run to the peo­ple with tid­ings

bro­ther

There’s a sound of abun­dant rain.
