The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 ‎#869

869. Lord, I Hear of Show'rs of Blessing

1 Lord I hear of show’rs of blessing
Thou art scatt’ring full and free,
Show’rs the thirsty land refreshing:
Let Thy mercy fall on me.

Refrain:
Even me, Even me,
Let Thy mercy fall on me.

2 Faithfully, O gracious Savior,
I would live and cling to Thee;
Grant to me Thy loving favor—
Not my will but Thine to be. [Refrain]

3 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of Christ so rich, so free,
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me. [Refrain]
