As drooping flowers pine for rain
When parched with heat of day,
As weary travellers long again
For home when far away,
So thirsts my soul, O God, for Thee :
Let heavenly dews descend ;
Refresh my path, and let me be
Supported to the end.
How weary would the journey prove
Without Thy guiding hand !
O give me wisdom, light, and love,
Thy ways to understand.
Although the sky may be o'ercast,
And storms may cloud my way,
Yet let me see Thy face at last,
And live in perfect day.
