The Ransomed

Pour out thy Spirit this day as rain upon the mown grass, and as showers that water the earth. Make the places round about thy hill a blessing. Cause the rain to come down in his season. Let there be showers of blessings. When the poor and the needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, do thou, the Lord, hear, do thou, the God of Israel, not forsake them. Revive thy work in the midst of the years ; in the midst of the years make known, in wrath remember mercy. Prepare us for rendering thee that public homage which is so justly due unto thee. And to thy name, in Christ, be glory and praise, now and for ever. Amen.
