Pour Thy Blessings, Lord, Like Showers

Author: Harriet M. Kimball, 1834-1920 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Pour Thy blessings, Lord, like showers, On these barren lives of ours; Warm and quicken them with grace Till they bloom and bear apace Fruit of prayer and fruit of praise, Holy thoughts and kindly ways, Loving sacrifices shown Wheresoever need is known. 2. Chiefest, Lord, today may we In the sick and suffering see, Those whom Thou would’st have us bless With fraternal tenderness, With our treasure freely poured, With compassion’s richer hoard, With these ministries most dear To Thy stricken children here. 3. Heavy is the cross they bear, But our love that cross can share; Dark Thy providence must seem, But our cheer can cast a gleam On their lot; and in our turn Holiest lessons we may learn, Where Thine own revealing light Streams through pain’s mysterious night.

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gently falls the winter snow, Earth lies silently below, While the tender Plant appears, Promised long by holy seers. Refrain: Hail the ever blessèd morn, Hail the day that Christ was born; Tell it thro’ Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. 2 He who built the starry skies Low within a manger lies, Stooping from His throne sublime High above the cherubim. [Refrain] 3 Say, ye wondering shepherds, say, What your joyful news today; Wherefore have you left your sheep? Wherefore fail your watch to keep? [Refrain] 4 As we watched at dead of night Lo! we saw a wondrous sight— Angels singing Peace on earth, Telling of the Savior’s birth. [Refrain] 5 Haste we now to greet God’s Child, Watch His face so meek and mild, Learn the love of Heaven to see In our Lord’s humility. [Refrain] Used With Tune: FRENCHMAN MOUNTAIN
