 1 

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.

 
 2 

There shall be showers of blessing —

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

 

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

 
 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.

 

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

 
 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!

 

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

 
 5 

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.
