ing:
What voice is this that's calling,
In tones so strong and cl ar
With tenderness abounding,
1t seems to come so ne ar:
Fen if Thou art but feeble
Aud poor of speech mey be
Yet still the voice is pleading
ssThe Lord hath need OF thee"
Need of me o blessed thought,
His precious name to bear
Aud tell of His Salvation,
That all who hear may share
How can / ever falter ?
Or fail my way to see?
When Jesus sends the message
"Thy Lord hath need of thee.'
Take, Lord, my willing service,
Give grace to see my way
Forgive my erring footsteps,
INbov. from, Hhu moth afrau
Be this my daily comfort,
My strength depends on Thee;
have the blest assurance,
"My Lord hath need of me-"
