446. Lord, Speak to Me

1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek,
Thy erring children lost and lone.

2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wand'ring and the wav'ring feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hung'ring ones with manna sweet.

3 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.

4 O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow
In kindling tho't and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

5 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.
