Go with Eli­jah to Car­mel, bro­ther,
There is dearth in all the plain.
Stay in the val­ley no long­er, bro­ther,
For the Lord has pro­mised rain.

Refrain

Pray on and ne­ver grow wea­ry,
Waiting, wait­ing for the pro­mised rain;
Pray on and ne­ver grow wea­ry,
Watching, pray­ing, watch­ing, pray­ing
For the gra­cious rain.

Pray on the sum­mit of Car­mel, bro­ther,
Hiding from the world away.
Plead there with God for His peo­ple, bro­ther,
For the show­ers of bless­ing pray.

Refrain

Watch from the sum­mit of Car­mel, bro­ther,
Watch for clouds thro’ the sky be clear.
Watch while you pray for the com­ing show­ers,
Watch, for God your prayers will hear.

Refrain

Hark! to a voice from the mount­ains, bro­ther,
Waiting in the dus­ty plain.
Run to the peo­ple with tid­ings, bro­ther,
There’s a sound of abun­dant rain.

Refrain
