- Hear us, O Saviour, while we pray,
Humbly our need confessing;
Grant us the promised showers today,
Send them upon us, O Lord.
Refrain
Send showers of blessing;
Send showers refreshing;
Send us showers of blessing;
Send them, Lord we pray. - Knowing thy love, on the we call,
Boldly thy throne addressing;
Pleading that showers of grace may fall,—
Send them upon us, O Lord.
Refrain - Trusting thy word that cannot fail,
Master, we claim thy promise;
Oh, that our faith may now prevail,—
Send us the showers, O Lord.
Refrain
Amen.
