Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
Thou art scattering full and free--
Showers the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some droppings fall on me--
Chorus.--E-ven me, e-ven me,
Let thy blessing fall on me.
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.
Pass me not, O tender Saviour!
Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for Thy favor;
Whilst Thou'rt calling, oh, call me.
Pass me not, O mighty Spirit!
Thou can'st make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus' merit.
Speak the word of power to me.
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.
