Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#294

294. Lord, I Hear Of Showers Of Blessing

1 Lord, I hear of show'rs of blessing
Thou art scatt'ring full and free
Show'rs the thirsty land refreshing;
Let them also fall on me
Even me, even me,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

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

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

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit,
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus’ merit,
Speak the word of pow'r to me,
Even me, even me,
Let Thy blessing fall on 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,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
