The words

Verse 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, showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

Verse 2. “There shall be showers of blessing;”—
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

Verse 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.

Verse 4. “There shall be showers of blessing;”
Oh, that to-day they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

Sing the refrain after every verse.
