Mahalia Jackson Rain
[Verse 1]
Of all the gifts in God's domain
I think the most sublime is rain
The rain that keeps the earth renewed
With infinite solicitude
[Verse 2]
That cool the mountain burning crown
And bathe the robin in its nest
To whom the trees and flowers [?]
The drooping blossom to be
[Verse 3]
The rain that's like a mother's tear
Dissolve the dust of a hu-human fear
That falls on all impartially
And teaches us humility
[Verse 4]
That leaves behind when it departs
A rainbow just for my weary heart
When God foresaw the world in pain
I think He went and called the rain
