F. R. Havergal (386/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

F. R. Havergal LORD, speak to me, that I may speak In living echoes of Thy tone; As Thou hast sought, so let me seek Thy erring children lost and lone. 2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead The wandering and the wavering feet; O feed me, Lord, that I may feed Thy hungering ones with manna sweet. 3 O strengthen me, that while I stand Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee, I may stretch out a loving hand To wrestlers with the troubled sea. 4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach The precious things Thou dost impart; And wing my words, that they may reach The hidden depths of many a heart. 5 O give Thine own sweet rest to me, That I may speak with soothing power A word in season, as from Thee To weary ones in needful hour. 6 O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord, Until my very heart o’erflow In kindling thought and glowing word, Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show. 7 O use me, Lord, use even me, Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where, Until Thy blessed face I see, Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share!
