On This Last Rainy Saturday Of February: Showers Of Blessing

 

"And I will make them and the places round about My hill a blessing,
and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there shall
be showers of blessing of good insured by God's favor."
Ezekiel 34:26

Illustration by Ruth Morehead

Here in Thy name we are gathered,

Come and revive us, O Lord;

"There shall be showers of blessing,"

Thou hast declared in Thy Word.

Oh, graciously hear us,

Graciously hear us, we pray:

Pour from Thy windows upon us

Showers of blessing today.

Oh! that the showers of blessing,

Now on our souls may descend,

While at the footstool of mercy

Pleading Thy promise we bend!

Oh, graciously hear us,

Graciously hear us, we pray:

Pour from Thy windows upon us

Showers of blessing today.

"There shall be showers of blessing,"

Promises that never can fail;

Thou wilt regard our petition;

Surely our faith will prevail.

Oh, graciously hear us,

Graciously hear us, we pray:

Pour from Thy windows upon us

Showers of blessing today.

Showers of blessing, we need them,

Showers of blessing from Thee;

Showers of blessing, oh, grant them,

Thine all the glory shall be.

Oh, graciously hear us,

Graciously hear us, we pray:

Pour from Thy windows upon us.

Showers of blessing today.
