1 Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thine erring children lost and lone.
2 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious truths Thou dost impart;
And wing my words that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
3 O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
4 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.
