THE WORKER’S PRAYER.

By D. L. Hayward

LORD, speak to me, that I may speak In living echoes of Thy tone; As Thou hast sought, so let me seek Thine erring children, lost and lone.
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!
O, strengthen me, that while I stand Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee, I may stretch out a loving hand To wrestle with the troubled sea!
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!
O, give Thine own sweet rest to me, That I may speak with soothing power A word in season as from Thee, To weary ones in needful hour!
O, fill me with Thy fulness, Lord, Until my very heart o’erflows In kindling thought and glowing word Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show!
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!
