442. Speak, Lord, in the stillness

1 Speak, Lord, in the stillness
speak your word to me;
hushed my heart to listen
in expectancy.

2 Speak, O gracious Master,
in this quiet hour;
let me see your face, Lord,
feel your touch of power.

3 For the words you give me
they are life indeed;
living bread from heaven,
now my spirit feed.

4 Speak, your servant listens,
be not silent, Lord;
let me know your presence;
let your voice be heard.

5 Fill me with the knowledge
of your glorious will;
all your own good pleasure
in my life fulfill.
