In the bleak cave of loneliness I dwell
Amidst a dreary stretch of endless sand
The fire rages, nothing can quell
The baleful heat of this parched land.
Falling on my knees with tearful gasps
I cry out to You with fond memories of homeland
Redeem me from the desert's clasps
And the baleful heat of this parched land.
The feverish furnace's blazing glow
Shall ebb away at your single command
By Your Word living waters shall flow
Through the baleful heat of this parched land.
