Master, speak! Thy servant heareth
Longing for Thy gracious word
Longing for Thy voice that cheereth
Master, let it now be heard
I am listening, Lord, for Thee
What hast Thou to say to me?
Speak to me by name, O Master
Let me know it is to me
Speak, that I may follow faster
With a step more firm and free
Where the Shepherd leads the flock
In the shadow of the rock
Master, speak! though least and lowest
Let me not unheard depart
Master, speak! for O Thou knowest
All the yearning of my heart
Knowest all its truest need
Speak and make me blessed indeed
| |
Master, speak! and make me ready
When Thy voice is truly heard
With obedience glad and steady
Still to follow every word
I am listening, Lord, for Thee
Master, speak! O speak to me!
