Oh
speak to me
my Savior
Some words of holy cheer
That I in joy or sorrow
May know that Thou art near;
O Lord
how condescending
To stoop and talk with me!
I know I am unworthy
But hear my humble plea.
Oh
speak to me
my Savior
I wait with listening ear;
Thy words
so full of comfort
My soul delights to hear.
Oh
speak to me
my Savior
And tell me of Thy grace—
Sufficient for Thy people
For every time and place;
Oh
speak to me in trouble
Some consolations dear;
Be with me in the conflict
And I shall feel no fear.
Oh
speak to me
my Savior
I long to hear Thy voice
For when I am despondent
It makes my heart rejoice;
Thou lovest me
my Savior
Thy love I feel—I know
But oh
my soul is waiting
To hear Thee tell me so.
