     Receive them plentifully.

              beseech Thee O our Lord descend;

              do walk Receive them plentifully.

     All by Thy great Command

     The time of rain and the time of harvest.

     O Lord, Thou ordained them.

     Lord shall deliver us.

     Pour them all over us:

     ln the midst of our foes make us progress 

     For Thy own great glory.

     May all receive healing.

     If your trust is in God;

     Witches, wizard and all their wickedness

              beseech Thee O our Lord descend;
