Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Lord, speak to me, that I may speak - текст песни (слова)

1. Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
  In living echoes of thy tone;
  As thou has sought so let me seek
  Thy erring children lost and lone.
 
 2. O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
  The wandering and the lonely 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 fullness, 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.
