The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5720

5720. The Quiet Hour (Grimes)

1. Speak, Lord, in the stillness
While I wait on Thee;
Hushed my heart to listen,
In expectancy.

2. Speak, O blessèd Master,
In this quiet hour,
Let me see Thy face, Lord,
Feel Thy touch of power.

3. For the words Thou speakest,
They are life indeed;
Living bread from Heaven,
Now my spirit feed!

4. All to Thee is yielded,
I am not my own;
Blissful, glad surrender,
I am Thine alone.

5. Fill me with the knowledge
Of Thy glorious will;
All Thine own good pleasure
In my life fulfill.

6. Like a watered garden
Full of fragrance rare,
Ling’ring in Thy presence
Let my life appear.
