• Lyrics:
  Lord, I hear of showers of blessing,
  Thou art scattering full and free;
  Showers the thirsty land refreshing;
  Let some drops now fall on me;
  Even me, even me,
  Let some drops now fall on me.
  
  Pass me not, O God, my Father,
  Sinful though my heart may be;
  Thou mightst leave me, but the rather;
  Let Thy mercy light on me;
  Even me, even me,
  Let Thy mercy light on me.
  
  Pass me not, O gracious Savior,
  Let me live and cling to Thee;
  I am longing for Thy favor;
  Whilst Thou'rt calling, O call me;
  Even me, even me,
  Whilst Thou’rt calling, O call me.
  
  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.
  
  Have I been in sin long sleeping,
  Long been slighting, grieving Thee?
  Has the world my heart been keeping?
  O forgive and rescue me;
  Even me, even me,
  O forgive and rescue me.
  
  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;
  Even me, even me,
  Magnify them all in me.
  
  Pass me not; but pardon bringing,
  Bind my heart, O Lord, to Thee;
  Whilst the streams of life are springing,
  Blessing others, O bless me;
  Even me, even me,
  Blessing others, O bless me.
