THE BLESSED RAIN, by JENNIE SCHMITZ

Subject(s): Rain
First Line: The rain, sweet balm to nature
Last Line: For all the blessed rain.
Subject(s): Rain
The rain, sweet balm to nature,
Is falling, falling fast;
It washed away the banks of snow,
And now the winter's past.
The spring invites her flowers out,
The grass is green again;
But how, I ask, could all this be
Without the blessed rain?
We hear a song of gladness,
Sometimes a song of pain,
And oft a little sadness comes
With the falling rain.
But nature hears a wakening call,
She lifts her head again,
And with her beauty thanks the Lord
For all the blessed rain.
