HUMAN SERVICE AND BROTHERHOOD

Lord, Speak to Me, that I May Speak

136

(CANONBURY. L. M.)

Frances R. Havergal, 1872

Robert Schumann, 1833

1. Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
   In living echoes of thy tone;
   As thou hast sought, so let me seek
   Thy erring children lost and lone.
   
2. O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
   The precious things thou dost impart;
   And wing my words, that they may reach
   The hidden depths of many a heart.
   
3. O fill me with thy fulness, Lord,
   Until my very heart o'erflow
   In kind-ling tho't and glowing word.
   Thy love to tell, thy praise to show.
   
4. O use me, Lord, use even me,
   Just as thou wilt, and when and where;
   Until thy blessed face I see,
   Thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share.

When Thy Heart with Joy O'erflowing

137

(BULLINGER. 8,5,8,3)

Theodore Chickering Williams, 1891

Ethelbert W. Bullinger, 1877

1. When thy heart with joy o'erflowing,
   Sings a thankful prayer,
   In thy joy, O let thy brother
   With thee share.
   
2. When thy harvest sheaves in gathered,
   Fill thy barns with store,
   To thy God and to thy brother
   Give the more.
   
3. If thy soul, with power uplift ed,
   Yearn for glorious deed,
   Give thy strength to serve thy brother
   In his need.
   
4. Share with him thy bread of bless -ing, Sor - row's bur - den share;
   When thy heart en folds a brother
   God is there Amen
