Revival Implored

Author: John Newton Appears in 461 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.
