1 Hear the music of the rain falling down,
On the roof and window pane, falling down.
Murmur not, it seems to say,
For our Father's love to-day
Orders only in our way Good to fail;
Like the gentle falling rain
Over mountain, lake and plain,
Will His tender care remain Over all.

Chorus:
Hear the music of the rain, beautiful rain:
As the pearly drops in showers pattering fall,
Hear the sweet subdued rain,
On the roof and window pane,
Of our Father's tender love for all.

2 Hear the music of the rain falling down,
On the roof and window pane, falling down,
What a lesson does it bring,
What a chorus does it sing,
What a message from our King of His love,
And we seem to hear Him say,
Come, ye children, learn my way,
From my fold no longer stray, Look above. [Chorus]

3 Hear the music of the rain falling down,
On the roof and window pane, falling down:
So our Father, kind and true,
Showers of blessings, ever new,
On the good and evil, too, still doth send;
And a cheerful song we raise,
To His honor and His praise,
For the love that crowns our days to the end. [Chorus]
