1 Lord, we feel the show'rs of blessing,
Falling gently from above,
On our hearts with calm refreshing,
Token of Thy boundless love.

Chorus:
Hallelujah! show'rs of blessing,
Now are falling, Lord, on me,
Hallelujah! show'rs refreshing,
Thou art giving graciously.

2 While beneath, Thy copious showers,
We are being so refreshed;
May these brimming cups of ours
Share their fullness with th' oppressed. [Chorus]

3 By these showers cleans'd and gladdened,
Let our zeal and love increase;
And to hearts that now are saddened
Use us to impart Thy peace. [Chorus]

4 Lord, we feel Thy show'rs of blessing,
Oh, how rich and full and free!
While Thou art our souls refreshing
May we each a blessing be. [Chorus]
