The New Christian Hymnal ‎#265

265. Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing

1. Lord, I hear of show'rs of blessing,
Thous art scatt'ring full and free:
Show'rs the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some drops now fall on me--
Even me,
Even me,
Let some drops now fall 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 gracious Savior;
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 pow'r to me--
Even me,
Even me,
Speak the word of pow'r 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 it all in me--
Even me,
Even me,
Magnify it all in me.

6. Pass me not, but, pardon bringing,
Bind my heart, O Lord, to Thee;
Whilst the streams of life are springing,
Blessing others, O bless me--
Even me,
Even me,
Blessing others, O bless me.
