343a. 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 drops now fall on me
Even me.

2 Pass me not, O loving Father,
Sinful though my heart may be!
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let Thy mercy fall on me
Even me.

3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour,
Let me live and cling to Thee!
I am longing for Thy favour;
Whilst Thou'rt calling, O call me!
Even me.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit,
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus' merit,
Speak some word of power to me
Even 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.
