Master, Speak! Thy Servant Heareth
"Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth." - 1 Sam 3:9
VERSE 1
Master, speak! Thy servant heareth,
Waiting 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?
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
Master, speak though least and lowest,
Let me not unheard depart;
Master, speak! for oh, Thou knowest,
All the yearning of my heart!
Knowest all its truest needs;
Speak, and make me bless indeed
VERSE 4
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, oh, speak to me!
