1 Lord I hear of show’rs of blessings,
Thou are scatt’ring full and free;
Show’rs the thirsty souls refreshing,
Let some drops now fall on me!
Even me, yes! Even me!
Even me, Lord, Even me!
Let some drops now fall on me!
2 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Sinful though my heart may be;
I am longing for thy favor,
Whilst thou’rt blessing, Oh bless me!
Even me, yes! Even me!
Even me, Lord, Even me!
Whilst thou’rt blessing, Lord, bless me!
3 Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
Ever let me feed on thee;
Vine of heaven, vine of heaven,
Let thy blood atone for me!
Even me, yes! Even me!
Even me, Lord, Even me!
Let thy blood atone for me!
4 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of Christ, so rich, so free;
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me!
Even me, yes! Even me!
Even me, Lord, Even me!
Magnify them all in me!
