1 The times of great refreshing, O grant us, Lord, again;
The vineyard needs the blessing of gracious, growing rain;
O give us now the shower that shall our hearts renew,
And make us, by Thy power, to start our growth anew.

Chorus:
Refreshing times, reviving rain;
The Holy Ghost outpouring, the showers warm, inspiring;
Refreshing times, reviving rain,
O give us once again, give us, Lord, again.

2 For times of great refreshing, our souls now pant and cry;
Our spirits are depressing, our hearts are hard and dry;
O make us now to blossom like flowers in the spring;
The fruit that’s sweet and wholesome in holy living bring. [Chorus]

3 A time of great refreshing, Thy presence, Lord, would be;
Thy Zion, then rejoicing, would sing her praise to Thee;
The tree of consecration would precious fruitage bear; A wondrous transformation would come if Thou wert here. [Chorus]
