Hymn of the Month: Showers of Blessing

And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing. - Ezekiel 34:26

There shall be showers of blessing: 

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing, 

Sent from the Savior above. 

Chorus:

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 the valleys, 

Sound of abundance of rain. [Chorus] 

There shall be showers of blessing: 

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing; 

Come and now honor Thy Word. [Chorus] 

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! [Chorus]

by Major Daniel Whittle, 1840-1901
