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 lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed,
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet!
3. 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.
4. O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o’er flow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
5. O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wild, and when, and where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

1. I could not do without Thee,
O Saviour of the lost,
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost;
Thy righteousness, Thy pardon,
Thy precious blood, must be
My only hope and comfort,
My glory and my plea.
2. I could not do without Thee;
I cannot stand alone,
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own;
But Thou, beloved Saviour,
Art All in all to me,
And weakness will be power,
If leaning hard on Thee.
3. I could not do without Thee;
No other friend can read
The spirit’s strange deep longings,
Interpreting its need;
No human heart could enter
Each dim recess of mine,
And soothe, and hush, and calm it,
O blessed Lord, but Thine.
4. I could not do without Thee,
For years are fleeting fast,
And soon in solemn loneness
The river must be passed;
But Thou wilt never leave me,
And though the waves roll high,
I know Thou wilt be near me,
And whisper, “It is I.”

1. I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free.
2. I am trusting Thee to guide me;
Thou alone shalt lead,
Every day and hour supplying
All my need.
3. I am trusting Thee for power:
Thine can never fail;
Words which Thou Thyself shalt give me
Must prevail.
4. I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus;
Never let me fall;
I am trusting Thee forever,
And for all.

1. Thy life was given for me;
Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
That I might ransomed be,
And quickened from the the dead:
Thy life was given for me;
What have I given for Thee?
2. Long years were spent for me
In weariness and woe,
That through eternity
Thy glory I might know:
Long years were spent for me;
Have I spent one for Thee?
3. And Thou hast brought to me,
Down from Thy home above,
Salvation full and free,
Thy pardon and Thy love:
Great gifts Thou broughtest me;
What have I brought to Thee?
4. O let my life be given,
My years spent for Thee be spent,
World fetters be riven,
And joy with suffering blent!
Thou gav’st Thyself for me;
I give myself to Thee.

Whom yet unseen we love!
O Name of might and favor,
All other names above!

Of love beyond all thought!

All grace and power divine;

1. Thou art coming, O my Saviour,
Thou art coming, O my King,
In Thy beauty all resplendent;
In Thy glory all transcendent;
Well may we rejoice and sing:
Coming! in the opening east
Herald brightness slowly swells;
Coming! O my glorious Priest,
Hear we not Thy golden bells?
2. Thou art coming, Thou art coming;
We shall meet Thee on Thy way,
We shall see Thee, we shall know Thee,
We shall bless Thee, we shall show Thee
All our hearts could never say:
What an anthem that will be,
Ringing out our love to Thee,
Pouring out our rapture sweet
At Thine own all-glorious feet!
3. O the joy to see Thee reigning,
Thee, my own beloved Lord!
Every tongue Thy Name confessing,
Worship, honor, glory, blessing
Brought to Thee with glad accord;
Thee, my Master and my Friend,
Vindicated and enthroned;
Unto earth’s remotest end
Glorified, adored, and owned.

1. Another day is dawning;
Dear Master, let it be,
In working or in watching,
Another day with thee.
2. Another day of service,
Of witness of thy love;
Another day of training
For holier work above.
3. Another day is dawning;
Dear Master, let it be,
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another day for thee.

1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is thine own,
It shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store;
Take thyself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.
