Text: | Lord, Speak to Us that We May Speak |
Author: | Frances R. Havergal, 1836-79 |
Tune: | CANONBURY |
Composer: | Robert A. Schumann, 1810-56 |
1 Lord, speak to us that we may speak
In living echoes of your tone.
As you have sought, so let us seek
Your straying children, lost and lone.
2 Oh, lead us, Lord, that we may lead
The wand'ring and the wav'ring feet.
Oh, feed us, Lord, that we may feed
Your hung'ring ones with manna sweet.
3 Oh, teach us, Lord, that we may teach
The precious truths which you impart,
And wing our words that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
4 Oh, fill us with your fullness, Lord,
Until our very hearts o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word
Your love to tell, your praise to show.
