Master Speak

By Frances Ridley Havergal

Master, speak! though least and lowest,

Let me not unheard depart.

Master, speak! for, oh You 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 Your voice is truly heard,

With obedience glad and steady,

Still to follow every word.

I am listening, Lord, for You.

Master, speak, oh, speak to me!

Speak to me my 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!
