in living echoes of your tone;
as you have sought, so let me seek
your 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
your hungering ones with manna sweet.
3 O strengthen me, that, while I stand
firm on the rock, secure and free,
I may stretch out a loving hand
to wrestlers with the troubled sea.
4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious things which you impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
5 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o'erflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.
6 O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as you will, and when, and where,
until at last your face I see,
your rest, your joy, your glory share. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Dedication of people Used With Tune: WINSCOTT
