Tune:CANONBURY
Composer:Robert A. Schumann, 1810-1856

372. 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 hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.

2 O strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out aa loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea!

3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious truths Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart!

4 O fill us with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until our very hearts o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show!

Amen.
