1.	Lord, speak to me, that I may speak 
	in living echoes of thy tone; 
	as thou has sought, so let me seek 
	thine erring children lost and lone. 

2.	O strengthen me, that while I stand 
	firm on the rock, and strong in thee, 
	I may stretch out a loving land 
	to wrestlers with the troubled sea. 

3.	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. 

4.	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. 

5.	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.
