The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#495

495. Lord, I hear of showers of blessing

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

Refrain:
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 might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy rest on me. [Refrain]

3 Have I long in sin been sleeping?
Long been slighting, grieving thee?
Has the world my heart been keeping?
O forgive and rescue me! [Refrain]

4 Pass me not, O holy Spirit!
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Testify of Jesus' merit,
Speak the word of peace to me. [Refrain]
