395. Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing

1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessing,
Thou art scattering full and free;
Showers, the thirsty land 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 Saviour,
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 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of God, 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.
