Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#439

439. Lord, Speak to Me

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 a loving hand
to wrestlers with the troubled sea.

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

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

5 O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
until Thy blessed face I see;
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
