1 Faint the earth, and parched with drought, Make the waters, Lord, gush out! Streams of love our thirst to bless, Starting in the wilderness. Long we wait Thy peace to know: Father, bid the waters flow, Make the thirsty land a pool, Make man's suffering spirit whole. 2 Hark! the wastes have found a voice; Loneliest deserts now rejoice, When the Lord His presence shows, Lo, they blossom like the rose; See! this barren earth of ours Buds and puts forth fruits and flowers, Flowers of Eden, fruits of peace, Love and Joy and Righteousness! 599. L. M. *J. Wesley. Thy Will Be Done on Earth as in Heaven. 1 Spirit of peace and love and power, Fountain of life and light below, Abroad Thy healing influence shower, O'er all the nations let it flow. Inspire our hearts with perfect love; In all the work of faith fulfil; So not heaven's host shall swifter move, Than we on earth, to do Thy will. 2 Father, 'tis Thine each day to yield Thy children's wants a fresh supply; Thou clothest the lilies of the field, And hearest the young ravens cry. To Thee we pray; for all must live By Thee, who knowest their every need-- Pray for the world, that Thou wilt give All human hearts Thy living bread. 3 In faith we wait and long and pray, To see that time, by prophets told, When nations, new-born into day, Shall be ingathered to Thy fold. We cannot doubt Thy gracious will, Thou mighty, merciful and just! And Thou wilt speedily fulfil The word in which Thy servants trust. 600. C. M. Breviary. Brightening Unto the Perfect Day. 1 Gone is the hollow, murky night, With all its shadows dun; O shine upon us, heavenly light, As on the earth the sun! 2 Pour on our hearts Thy heavenly beam, In radiance sublime! Retire before that ray supreme, Ye sins of elder time! 3 Lo, on the morn that now is here No night shall ever fall; But faith shall burn, undimmed and clear, Till God be all in all. 4 This is the dawn of infant faith; The day will follow soon, When hope shall breathe with freer breath, And morn be lost in noon; 5 For to the seed that's sown to-day A harvest time is given, When charity with faith to stay, Shall make on earth a heaven. GLORY BE TO GOD ON HIGH: AND ON EARTH PEACE: GOOD WILL TO MEN.
