Showers of Blessing

Text written by Daniel W. Whittle (1840-1901)

Music written by James McGranahan (1840-1915)

Ezekiel 34:26 I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. 

Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

V. 1 "There shall be showers of blessing;"

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.

Refrain: Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

1 Kings 18:41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain."

V. 2 "There shall be showers of blessing--"

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

Refrain

V. 3 "There shall be showers of blessing;"

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy word.

Refrain

V. 4 "There shall be showers of blessing;"

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we're confessing, 

Now as on Jesus we call!

Refrain
