HYMN LXXIX

A prayer for seasonable rain and prosperity

1May this our Lord of Cloudy Sky, bedewed with liquid drops
   preserve unequalled riches in our homes.
2Lord of the Cloudy Sky, bestow vigour and strength on our
   abodes. Let wealth and treasure come to us.
3Thou, God bedewed with drops, art Lord of infinite prosperity.
  Grant us thereof, give us thereof: may we enjoy this boon of
   thine.
