Lord, speak to me that I may speak

1. Lord, speak to me that I may speak 
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 teach me, Lord, that I may teach 
the precious truths which you impart. 
And wing my words that thy may reach 
the hidden depths of many a heart.

4. 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. 

5. O use me, Lord, use even me, 
just as you will, and when, and where 
until your blessed face I see, 
your rest, your joy, your glory share.
