Author: William Williams, 1717-1791; Richard M. Lewis, 1849-1918 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6271 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Speak, I pray Thee, gentle Jesus Lyrics: 1. Speak, I pray Thee, gentle Jesus!
O, how passing sweet Thy words,
Breathing o’er my troubled spirit
Peace which never earth affords.
All the world’s distracting voices,
All th’enticing tones of ill,
At Thy accents mild, melodious,
Are subdued, and all is still.
2. Tell me Thou art mine, O Savior,
Grant me an assurance clear;
Banish all my dark misgivings,
Still my doubting, calm my fear.
O, my soul within me yearneth
Now to hear Thy voice divine;
So shall grief be gone for ever,
And despair no more be mine. Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGAN
Speak, I Pray Thee, Gentle Jesus!
