E102. There Shall Be Showers of Blessing

1 "There shall be showers of blessing:"
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

Chorus:
Showers, showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2 "There shall be showers of blessing" --
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Chorus]

3 "There shall be showers of blessing:"
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word. [Chorus]

4 "There shall be showers of blessing:"
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Chorus]
