Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
in living echoes of your tone;
as you have sought, so let me seek
your wandering children, lost, alone.
2. O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
the stumbling and the straying feet;
and feed me, Lord, that I may feed
your hungry ones with manna sweet.
3. O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious truths that you impart;
and wing my words that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4. O fill me with your fulness, Lord,
until my heart shall overflow
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 at last your face I see,
your rest, your joy, your glory share.
