Lord, Speak to Me

Lyrics by
Frances Ridley Havergal (1872)
Music by
Robert Schumann (1839)
Tune
SPEAK, LORD · 8.7.8.7
Scripture
1 Samuel 3:9
Verse 1
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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.

Havergal's poem reflects the theme of listening to God's voice with openness and readiness to serve.
