Speak, Lord, in the Stillness

444 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.

Not a terribly popular hymn, only occurring in about forty hymnals. The biography link above is a bit strange, almost as if the person writing it had an axe to grind.
