IMPROMPTU.
The first April shower,
God of nature! God of grace!
Gently falls this April rain,
Drop by drop from clouds above,
Soon to rise and fall again.
Oh, the majesty—the power
Of creation's Sovereign King!
This is April's early shower,
This, the bounty of the spring.
While the Heavenly dew drops fall,
Sing, oh earth, thy maker's praise!
Gratitude becomes us all—
All the birds their voices raise.
Lo! the sun is shining through
Clouds which yield these April showers;
And the night shall gather dew
For the fruits and fields and flowers.
