Lord, Speak to Me That I May Speak

Words: Frances Ridley Havergal · Music: Henry W. Baker · 1872

Verse 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.

Verse 2
Oh, lead me, Lord, that I may lead
the wand'ring and the wav'ring feet;
oh, feed me, Lord, that I may feed
your hung'ring ones with manna sweet.

Verse 3
Oh, teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious truths which you impart,
and wing my words that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.

Verse 4
Oh, 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.

Verse 5
Oh, 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.
