Oh, speak to me, my Sav­ior,
Some words of ho­ly cheer,
That I in joy or sor­row
May know that Thou art near;
O Lord, how con­des­cend­ing
To stoop and talk with me!
I know I am un­wor­thy,
But hear my hum­ble plea.

Refrain

Oh, speak to me, my Sav­ior,
I wait with list­en­ing ear;
Thy words, so full of com­fort,
My soul de­lights to hear.

Oh, speak to me, my Sav­ior,
And tell me of Thy grace—
Sufficient for Thy peo­ple,
For ev­ery time and place;
Oh, speak to me in trou­ble
Some con­so­la­tions dear;
Be with me in the con­flict,
And I shall feel no fear.

Refrain

Oh, speak to me, my Sav­ior,
I long to hear Thy voice,
For when I am de­spon­dent,
It makes my heart rejoice;
Thou lov­est me, my Sav­ior,
Thy love I feel—I know,
But oh, my soul is wait­ing
To hear Thee tell me so.

Refrain
