There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.

 

 

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 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! 

 

There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing

If we let God have His way.

 

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.
