403. Lord, Speak to Us, that We May Speak

1 Lord, speak to us, that we may speak
In living echoes of your tone;
As you have sought, so let us seek
Your straying children, lost and lone.

2 Oh, lead us, Lord, that we may lead
The wand'ring and the wav'ring feet;
Oh, feed us, Lord, that we may feed
Your hung'ring ones with manna sweet.

3 Oh, teach us, Lord, that we may teach
The precious truths which you impart,
And wing our words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.

4 Oh, fill us with your fullness, Lord,
Until our very hearts o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Your love to tell, your praise to show.
