Worship in Song ‎#165

165. Lord, Speak to Me

1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of thy tone;
As thou has sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.

2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.

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.
