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 need; Speak, and make me blest 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, O speak to me!
