Teach me Lord, that I may teach.

1. 
   
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 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.
3. O strengthen me, that while I stand
   Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
   I may stretch out a loving hand
   To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
1. 
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
6. Until my very heart o’erflow
   In kindling thought and glowing word,
   Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
7. 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!

I recently came across this hymn. It is in the book Hymns of Worship and Remembrance. Unfortunately, I don't remember the number or the author.  The words were so encouraging to me. I want to learn more so I can teach. I want The Lord to use me to share his sweet rest with others.  I want the love of Jesus to flow from me, so that I picture him.
