1. . Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of your tone;
As you have so't, so let me seek
Your erring children, lost and lone.

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.

3. . Oh, teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things that you impart,
And wing my words, that I may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.

4. . Oh, grant my spirit to renew,
That I may speak with soothing pow'r
A word in season, as from you,
To weary ones in needful hour.

5. . 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.

6. . Oh, use me, Lord, use even me
Just as you will, and when, and where,
Until your blessèd face I see,
Your rest, your joy, your glory share.
