Text: | Lord, speak to me that I may speak |
Author: | Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 |
Tune: | WINSCOTT |
Composer: | Samuel Sebastian Wesley, 1810-1876 |
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.
