Speak Lord, Thy servant’s listening

lyricist: A. C.
Composer: George James Webb

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

A Nazarite I’ll be

Completely separating

From worldly things to Thee.

I consecrate my all

Lord

For Thou art now my choice.

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

Oh

let me hear Thy voice!

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

A priest I long to be

One who is always coming

And spending time with Thee.

Thy face I’d seek each day

Lord

And in Thy presence stay.

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

Oh

fill me

Lord

I pray!

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

A prophet I would be

One who is always speaking

The things I hear from Thee.

Thine every word I’d treasure

And live on what You say;

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

Thy word I will convey!

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

A man of prayer I’d be;

I would not cease my praying

And sin

O Lord

’gainst Thee.

“Age-turning” prayers are needed;

I’ll pray: “Thy will be done.”

Speak Lord

Thy servant’s listening.

Oh

may Thy kingdom come!
