Lyrics

We are pray­ing, Lord, at this ve­ry hour,
For sus­tain­ing grace to forth to­day,
By Thy Spir­it blesed with con­vict­ing pow­er;
For the show­ers, Lord, we pray.

Refrain

For the show­ers, Lord, we pray;
Let the bless­ings fall to­day;
In our Sav­ior’s name we a bless­ing claim;
For the show­ers, Lord, we pray.

Refrain

Let Thy will hold sway eve­ry heart with­in,
May a new in­fill­ing be ours to­day;
Give us grace to con­quer each lurk­ing sin;
For the show­ers, Lord, we pray.

Refrain

As in old­en times by Thy Spir­it’s fire,
Thou didst burn up dross in Thy migh­ty way;
With a rich out­pour­ing our souls in­spire;
For the show­ers, Lord, we pray.
