Revival Implored

Author: John Newton Appears in 462 hymnals First Line: Saviour, visit thy plantation! Lyrics: 1 Saviour, visit thy plantation! Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain: All will come to desolation, Unless thou return again. 2 Keep no longer at a distance, Shine upon us from on high, Lest, for want of thine assistance, Every plant should droop and die. 3 Once, O Lord, thy garden flourished; Every part looked gay and green; Then thy word our spirits nourished: Happy seasons we have seen. 4 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see: Lord, thy help is greatly needed: Help can only come from thee. 5 Let our mutual love be fervent: Make us prevalent in prayer; Let each one esteemed thy servant Shun the world's bewitching snare. 6 Break the tempter's fatal power, Turn the stony heart to flesh, And begin from this good hour To revive thy work afresh.

Psalm 90

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,246 hymnals First Line: O God, our help in ages past Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hopes for years to come; Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home! Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. 2 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God To endless years the same. A thousand ages, in thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun. 3 Time, like an ever-rolling stream Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.

Freely from thy fullness give; Till I close my earthly race, Be it "Christ for me to live!" 3 Firmly trusting in thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Immanuel's ground. 4 When I touch the blessed shore, Back the closing waves shall roll!
