Showers the thirsty land refreshing; Let some portion fall on me, Even me, even me! Let some portion 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, Even me, even me! Let thy mercy light on me. 3 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, Even me, even me! Whilst Thou'rt calling, oh, call me. 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, Even me, even me! Speak the word of power to me. 5 Have I long in sin been sleeping? Long been slighting, grieving Thee? Has the world my heart been keeping? Oh, forgive and rescue me, Even me, even me! Oh, forgive and rescue me. 6 Love of God, so pure and changeless; Blood of God, 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. 7 Pass me not! this lost one bringing, 'Tis but one more, Lord, for Thee! All my heart to Thee is springing; Blessing others, oh, bless me, Even me, even me! Blessing others, oh, bless me. Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions Used With Tune: [Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
