399. Lord, I hear of showers of blessing

1 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:
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 pass me, but the rather
Let Thy mercy light on me. [Chorus]

3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour;
Let me love and cling to Thee:
I am longing for Thy favor,
Whilst Thou'rt calling, oh, call me. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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

Amen.
