Sheet music
- 1Lord, speak to me, that I may speakIn living echoes of Thy tone;As Thou has sought, so let me seekThine erring children, lost and lone.O strengthen me, that while I standFirm on the Rock and strong in Thee,I may stretch out a loving landTo wrestlers with the troubled sea.
- 2O teach me, Lord, that I may teachThe precious things Thou dost impart;And wing my words that they may reachThe hidden depths of many a heart.O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,Until my very heart o’erflow;In kindling tho’t and glowing word,Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
