SPEAK to us, Lord, Thyself reveal, While here o’er earth we rove; Speak to our hearts, and let us feel The kindling of Thy love.
With Thee conversing, we forget All time and toil and care; Labour is rest, and pain is sweet, If Thou, my God, art here.
Here then, my God, be pleased to stay, And bid my heart rejoice; My willing heart shall own Thy sway, And echo to Thy voice.
Thou callest me to seek Thy face; ’Tis all I wish to seek; To attend the whispers of Thy grace, And hear Thee inly speak.
Let this my every hour employ, Till I Thy glory see; Enter into my Master’s joy, And find my Heaven in Thee.
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
