Saviour Visit Thy Plantation
PRODIGAL-Ira David Sankey
Saviour! Visit Thy Plantation
}
Saviour! visit Thy plantation;
Grant us Lord a gracious rain;
All will come to desolation,
Unless Thou return again.
Keep no longer at a distance;
Shine upon us from on high,
Lest for want of Thine assistance,
Every plant should droop and die.
Let our mutual love be fervent,
Make us prevalent in prayers;
Let each one, esteemed Thy servant,
Shun the world's enticing snares.
Break the tempter's fatal power;
Turn the stony heart to flesh;
And begin from this good hour;
To revive Thy work afresh.
