Living Hymns ‎#87

87. Even Me

1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
Thou art scatt'ring full and free--
Showers, the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some droppings fall on me.
Even me, Lord, Even me,
Showers, the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some droppings fall on me.

2 Pass me not, O gracious Father!
Sinful tho' my heart may be;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall on me.
Even me, Even me,
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall o me.

3 Pass me not, O tender Saviour!
Let me live and cling to thee;
I am longing for thy favor;
Whilst thou'rt calling, oh, call me.
Even me, Even me,
I am longing for thy favor;
Whilst thou'rt calling, oh, call me.

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

5 Love of God, so pure and changeless;
Blood of Christ, so rich and free;
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me,--
Even me, even me, etc.
