Drop down dew from above by Charles H. Giffen — Lyrics
Antiphon (Isaiah 45:8):
Drop down dew from above, ye heavens,
and let the clouds rain down the Just One:
let the earth be opened and bring forth a Saviour.

About Drop down dew from above
Charles H. Giffen composed this SATB anthem based on biblical texts. The main text, an antiphon from Isaiah 45:8, petitions the heavens to send down righteousness and a Saviour. This is followed by a verse from Psalm 19:1, celebrating the glory of God as revealed in the heavens. The music sets these words of longing and divine revelation in English, suitable for services where these themes are central, perhaps as an entrance song invoking God's coming.
