“And I will Be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thout shalt say-Exod 4:12
1 Shine Thou upon us Lord,
True Light of men, today,
And through the written word,
The very self display:
That so from hearts which burn
With gazing on Thy grace.
The little ones may learn
The wonders of Thy grace
2 Breath Thou upon us, Lord,
Thy spirits living flame
That so with one accord
Our lips may tell Thy name;
Give thou hearing ear,
Fix Thou the wandering thought.
That those we teach may hear
The great things Thou hast wrought.
- Speak Thou for us, O Lord,
In all we say of Thee;
According to Thy word
Let all our teaching be;
That so Thy lambs may know
Their own true shepherd’s voice
Where’er He leads them go,
And in His love rejoice.
4 Live Thou within us, Lord,
Thy mind and will be ours;
Be Thou beloved, adored,
And served, with all our powers;
That so our lives may teach
Thy children what Thou art,
And plead, by more than speech,
For Thee with every heart.
