Give us rain, 0 Lord most wise, Send us show'rs from out the skies: Drench the. earth baked hard as stone, Barren earth 'where sun has shown. . ) Teaf!her, Tondo. Primary School, Manila. We our grains must sow and till, Rice and corn from vale and hill; Beasts of burden help us to toilSend us rain and flood the soil. Let it rain, Lord bless'd of all, Make the plants grow green and tall; Make our grains turn into goldThen, Lord, thanks a hundred fold. Amen . 83
