Hearing God Speak

Speak, Lord, in the stillness,
While I wait on Thee;
Hushed my heart to listen
In expectancy.

Speak, O blessed Master,
In this quiet hour;
Let me see Thy face, Lord,
Feel Thy touch of power.

For the words Thou speakest,
"They are life," indeed;
Living Bread from heaven,
Now my spirit feed!

All to Thee is yielded,
I am not my own;
Blissful, glad surrender,
I am Thine alone.

Speak, Thy servant heareth!
Be not silent, Lord;
Waits my soul upon thee
For the quickening word!

Fill me with knowledge
Of Thy glorious will;
All Thine own good pleasure
In my life fulfill.

Like "a watered garden"
Full of fragrance rare
Ling'ring in Thy presence
Let my life appear.
Emily May Grimes Crawford
