Let thy longed-for accents fall; Master, speak! and silence all. 3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee, Though so tearfully I plead; Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee Life would be a blank indeed. But I long for fuller light, Deeper love and clearer sight. 4 Speak to me by name, O Master, Let me know it is to me; Speak, that I may follow faster, With a step more firm and free, Where the Shepherd leads the flock, In the shadow of the rock!
