African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#310

310. Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing

1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
Thou are scattering full and free;
Showers the thirsty souls refreshing;
Let some drops now fall on me;
Even me, Even me,
Let some drops now fall on me.

2 Pass me not, O gracious Father,
Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou mightst leave me, but the rather
Let Thy mercy light on me;
Even me, Even me,
Let Thy mercy light on me.

3 Pass me not, O tender Savior,
Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for Thy favor;
While Thou'rt calling, O call me,
Even me, Even me,
While Thou’rt calling, O call me.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit,
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus' merit,
Speak some word of power to me,
Even me, Even me,
Speak some word of power to me.

5 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of Christ, so rich, so free,
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me.
Even me, Even me,
Magnify them all in me.

Amen.
