Hymn
There Shall Be Showers of Blessing
"There shall be showers of blessing:"
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Showers, showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
"There shall be showers of blessing"
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
"There shall be showers of blessing:"
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
"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!
