Open the Windows of Heaven (Staples)

Open the win­dows of Heav­en

Send show­ers of bless­ing just now;

Look on us

Lord

in Thy mer­cy

While hum­bly be­fore Thee we bow.

Showers of bless­ing

Fresh show­ers of bless­ing we need;

Showers of bless­ing

For show­ers of bless­ing we plead.

Open the win­dows of Heav­en

Look ten­der­ly on us in love

Coming in heart­felt con­tri­tion

We pray Thee our sins hence re­move.

Trusting

we’ll try Thee

and prove Thee;

All ef­fort with­out Thee is vain;

Earth’s great­est plea­sures are fleet­ing

Their loss is our in­fi­nite gain.

Open the win­dows of Heav­en

And bless us for Thy dear Son’s sake;

His blood shed for our re­demp­tion

Our plea

on­ly plea we now make.
