Speak, Lord, in the stillness,

by E. . May Grimes

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 329 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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

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

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

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

Verse 7

Like "a watered garden," Full of fragrance rare, Lingering in Thy presence, Let my life appear.
