  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
