1 Lord, speak to me that I may speak 
in living echoes of your tone; 
as you have sought, so let me seek 
your wandering children, lost, alone. 
 
2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead 
the stumbling and the straying feet; 
and feed me, Lord, that I may feed 
your hungry ones with manna sweet. 
 
3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach 
the precious things which you impart; 
snd wing my words, that they may reach 
the hidden depths of many a heart. 
 
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my heart shall overflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.
