1028. Lord, I hear of showers of blessing

1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessings,
Thou art scattering full and free,
Showers 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 my Father,
Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall on me.
Even me, &c.

3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour,
Let me live and cling to thee:
Fain I'm longing for thy favor;
Whilst thou 'rt calling, call for me.
Even me, &c.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit:
Thou canst make the blind to see,
Witnesses of Jesus' merit,
Speak the word of power to me--
Even me, &c.

5 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of Christ, so rich and free,
Grace of God, so rich and boundless,
Magnify it all in me,--
Even me, &c.

6 Pass me not, thy lost one bringing;
Bind my heart, O Lord to thee;
Whilst the streams of life are springing,
Blessing others, oh, bless me,--
Even me, &c.
