Our service for God has been barren and dry, And barren it shall remain, Until we are blessed with the fire from on high, And sound of abundance of rain.
Refrain: There is sound of abundance of rain, There is sound of abundance of rain; To God we draw near, and by by faith we can hear The sound of abundance of rain.
The prophets of pride and the priests of desire Are calling and cutting in vain; The halting are waiting for witness of fire, And sound of abundance of rain.
The altars of God that our sins have destroyed We must build with the things that remain; And prove to the world that no promise is void By sound of abundance of rain.
