Tune: | [“There shall be showers of blessing,” This is the promise of love] |
Composer: | James McGranahan (1840-1915) |
1 “There shall be showers of blessing;”
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2 “There shall be showers of blessing;”
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]
3 “There shall be showers of blessing;”
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy word. [Refrain]
4 “There shall be showers of blessing;”
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]
