Lyrics

All around this ve­ry hour,
Falls there streams of heav’n­ly pow­er;
Falling now so full and free,
Praise the Lord, it’s fill­ing me.

Refrain

Hallelujah! feel the pow­er,
Falling like a migh­ty show­er;
Coming now so full and free,
Praise the Lord, it’s fill­ing me.

Send us show­ers of heav’n­ly grace,
Let Thy pre­sence fill this place;
Speak the word, and it shall be,
That Thy show­ers fall on me.

Refrain

Thou alone this pow­er canst give,
Without which I dare not live;
Give me pow­er to work for Thee,
Let the stream reach ev­en me.
