A Prayer for Rain

A farming parishoner tells me that rain is needed. I have therefore prayed the following prayer from The Book of Common Prayer (p38, prayers and thanksgiving for various occasions, prayers, for rain):

O God, heavenly Father,
who by thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised to all them that seek thy kingdom,
and the rightousness thereof,
all things necessary to their bodily sustenance:
Send us, we beseech thee,
in this our necessity,
such moderate rain and showers,
that we may receive the fruits of the earth to our comfort,
and to thy honour;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
