Author: Anna Sophia von Hessen-Darmstadt, 1638-1683; George A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Hymnal: Christian Worship #631 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 First Line: Speak, O Savior, I am list'ning Lyrics: 1 Speak, O Savior; I am list'ning,
as a servant to his lord.
Let me show respect and honor
to your holy, precious Word,
that each day, my whole life through,
I may serve and follow you.
Let your Word e'er be my pleasure
and my heart's most precious treasure.
2 Oh, what blessing to be near you
and to listen to your voice;
let me ever love and fear you,
let your Word still be my choice!
Many hardened sinners, Lord,
flee in terror at your Word;
but to all who feel sin's burden
you give peace and words of pardon.
3 Lord, your words are waters living
where I quench my thirsty needs.
Lord, your words are bread life-giving;
on your words my spirit feeds.
Lord, your words will be my light
thro' death's cold and dreary night;
yes, they are my sword prevailing
and my cup of joy unfailing.
4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me;
let your words in me take root.
May your Spirit e'er be near me
that I bear abundant fruit.
May I daily sing your praise,
from my heart glad anthems raise,
till my highest praise is given
in the endless joy of heaven. Topics: Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER
