Tune: | GALILEE |
Composer: | Philip Armes, 1836-1908 |
1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
in living echoes of thy tone;
as thou hast sought, so let me seek
thine erring children lost and lone.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 O fill me with thy fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o'erflow
in kindling thought and gloving word,
thy love to tell, thy praise to show.
7 O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as thou wilt, and when, and where;
until thy blessèd face I see,
thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share.
