As the Dew from Heav'n Distilling by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
1. As the dew from heav’n distilling
Gently on the grass descends
And revives it, thus fulfilling
What thy Providence intends,
2. Let thy doctrine, Lord, so gracious,
Thus descending from above,
Blest by Thee, prove efficacious
To fulfil Thy work of Love.

About As the Dew from Heav'n Distilling
A deeply devotional anthem for SATB choir, As the Dew from Heav'n Distilling, is suitable for services of prayer and reflection. The text, an English hymn, draws a beautiful parallel between the life-giving dew falling on the earth and the spiritual nourishment brought by God's grace and doctrine. The composer captures the gentle, pervasive nature of this divine blessing through the music, creating an atmosphere of quiet adoration and hopeful supplication. The choir's message is one of seeking spiritual renewal and confessing the joy found in divine presence. This piece would be particularly fitting for moments of congregational prayer or during seasons emphasizing spiritual growth and renewal.
