Lord, I hear of show’rs of blessing

E259
1
Lord, I hear of show’rs of blessing
  Thou art scatt’ring full and free,
Show’rs the thirsty land refreshing;
  Let some drops now fall on me.
 
Even me, even me,
Let some drops now fall on me.
2
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.
3
Pass me not, O tender Savior!
  Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for Thy favor;
  While Thou’rt calling, call for me.
4
Pass me not, O Lord, the Spirit!
  Thou canst make the blind to see;
By the Witness of Thy merit,
  Speak the word of power to me.
5
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.
6
Pass me not! Thy lost one bringing,
  Bind my heart, O Lord, to Thee;
While the streams of life are springing,
  Blessing others, oh, bless me.
