Verse 1
Speak, Lord, in the stillness,
While I wait on Thee;
Hushed my heart to listen
In expectancy.
Verse 2
Speak, O blessed Master,
In this quiet hour;
Let me see Thy face, Lord,
Feel Thy touch of power.
Verse 3
For the words Thou speakest,
They are life indeed;
Living Bread from heaven
Now my spirit feed.
Verse 4
Speak, Thy servant heareth,
Be not silent, Lord;
Waits my soul upon Thee
For the quickening word.
Verse 5
Fill me with the knowledge
Of Thy glorious will;
All Thine own good pleasure
In Thy child fulfil.
Verse 6
Like a watered garden,
Full of fragrance rare,
Lingering in Thy presence
Let my life appear.
