The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#407

407. 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 some drops descend on me,
Even me, even me,
Let some drops descend 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;
When Thou comest, call for me,
Even me, even me,
When Thou comest, call for me.

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

Amen.
