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
