199. 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 Thy blessing fall on me--
Even me, Even me,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

2 Pass me not, O gracious 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 tender Saviour!
Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for Thy favor;
Whilst Thou 'rt calling, O call me--
Even me, Even me,
Whilst Thou 'rt calling, O call 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.

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,
Magnify them all in me.
