The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#550

550. Lord, speak to me that I may speak

1 Lord, speak to me that I may speak
in living echoes of Your tone;
as You have sought, so let me seek
Your wandering children, lost, alone.

2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
the stumbling and the straying feet;
and feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Your hungry ones with manna sweet.

3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious things which You impart;
and wing my words that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.

4 O fill me with Your fullness, Lord,
until my very heart overflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
Your love to tell, Your praise to show.

5 O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as You will, and when, and where;
until at last Your face I see,
Your rest, Your joy, Your glory share.
