903--Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

903

	1.	Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
		In living echoes of Thy tone;
		As Thou hast 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 strengthen me, that while I stand
		Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
		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 Thou dost impart;
		And wing my words, that they may
		reach
		The hidden depths of many a heart.
	5.	O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
		That I may speak with soothing power
		A word in season, as from Thee
		To weary ones in needful hour.
	6.	O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
		Until my very heart o'erflow
		In kindling thought and glowing word,
		Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
	7.	O use me, Lord, use even me,
		Just as Thou wilt, and when, and
		where,
		Until Thy blessed face I see,
		Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share!
