Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone
As Thou has sought, so let me seek
Thine erring children lost and lone
O strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea
O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart
O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord
Until my very heart overflow
In kindling thought and glowing word
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show
Alternate Verses:
O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet
| |
O give Thine own sweet rest to me
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee
To weary ones in needful hour
O use me, Lord, use even me
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where
Until Thy blessed face I see
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share
