Beautiful Rain by Philip P. Bliss — Lyrics
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 today
Orders only in our way
Good to fall.
Like the gentle falling rain,
Over mountain, lake, and plain,
Will his tender care remain,
Over all.
Hear the music of the rain, beautiful rain,
As the pearly drops in showers pattering fall;
Hear the sweet, subdued refrain,
On the roof and window pane
Of our Father’s tender love for all.

About Beautiful Rain
This charming SATB setting of Philip P. Bliss’s Beautiful Rain would be ideal for a spring concert or a reflective moment. The choir will appreciate the warm harmonies and memorable melody that capture the gentle persistence of the rain. The English text uses the falling rain as a metaphor for God's constant, loving care, which nurtures and sustains all creation. The composer ensures that the music reflects the peaceful, reassuring message of the lyrics, making it a beautiful choice for choirs seeking uplifting and accessible repertoire.
