1. Master speak! Thy servant heareth

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!

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 flock In the shadow of the rock.

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.

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!
