LORD SPEAK TO ME THAT I MAY SPEAK
1. Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou has sought so let me seek
Thy erring children, lost and lone.
2. Oh, 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.
3. Oh, 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.
4. Oh, 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.
5. Oh, 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.
6. O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
Until my very heart o’er flow;
In kindling tho’t and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
7. Oh, use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and how, and
where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
