Return Again 335
Tune: William L. Williams, 1850
Alto: Mrs. Anna L. (Cooper) Blackshear, 1902
Lyrics: John Newton, 1779
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
Savior, visit Thy plantation,
Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain,
All will come to desolation
Unless Thou return again.
Chorus:
Lord, revive us! Lord revive us!
All our help must come from Thee.
Keep no longer at a distance,
Shine upon us from on high!
Lest for want of Thy assistance,
Ev'ry plant should droop and die.
(Chorus)
