Composer: | T. E. Perkins |
1 Lord, I hear of show'rs of blessings
Thou art scatt'ring full and free;
Show'rs the thirsty land refreshing,
Let some droppings fall on me!—
Even me, Even me!
Let some droppings fall on me.
2 Pass me not, O God, our Father!
Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall on me!—
Even me, Even me!
Let thy mercy fall on me.
3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour!
Let me live and cling to thee!
For I'm longing for thy favor;
While thou'rt calling, call on me.
Even me, Even me!
While thou'rt calling, call on me.
4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit!
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Testify of Jesus' merit!
Speak some word of power to me.
Even me, Even me!
Speak some word of power to me.
5 Love of God—so pure and changeless;
Blood of Christ—so rich, so free;
Grace of God—so strong and boundless,
Magnify it all in me!
Even me, Even me!
Magnify it all in me!
