Jesu! Speak to Me in Love

lyricist: George Body, 1885
Composer: Alfred Redhead, 1916

Jesu! speak to me in love

Restless

storm tossed in my sin;

With Thy migh­ty voice

O Lord

Thy great calm cre­ate with­in;

Bid the stor­my winds to cease

Bid

O bid me go in peace.

To Thee

Je­su

do I fly

Wakened from my soul’s dread sleep;

None but Thou can save me

Lord

In this hour of ang­uish deep;

Thou alone canst give re­lease

Bid

O bid me go in peace.

Weeping at Thy feet I fall

Wearied

bur­dened

lone­ly

sad;

Thou dost bid me come

my Lord

Thou alone canst make me glad;

Jesu

grant my soul re­lease

Bid

O bid me go in peace.

Boldly at Thy throne of grace

Lord

I now for­give­ness seek;

In Thy tender

pi­ty­ing love

To my soul Thy par­don speak.

Jesu! make my ang­uish cease

Bid

O bid me go in peace.

Prince of Peace! Who in Thy death

Didst for me the ran­som pay

Cleanse me in Thy pre­cious blood

Give to me Thy peace to­day.

Now

Lord

grant my soul re­lease

Now

Lord

bid me go in peace.
