Words: El NathanMusic: James McGranahan
1"There shall be show ers of bless ing:" This is the prom ise of love;
There shall be sea sons re fresh ing, Sent from the Sav iour a bove.
RefrainShow ers of bless ing, Show ers of bless ing we need:
Mer cy drops round us are fall ing, But for the show ers we plead.
2"There shall be show ers of bless ing" — Pre cious re viv ing a gain;
O ver the hills and the val leys, Sound of a bun dance of rain.
3"There shall be show ers of bless ing;" Send them up on us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a re fresh ing, Come, and now hon or Thy word.
4"There shall be show ers of bless ing;" O that to day they might fall,
Now as to God we're con fess ing, Now as on Je sus we call!
