HAST THOU SPOKEN, BLESSED MASTER?
Has Thou spoken, blessed Master,
Has thou whispered in my ear,
And have I because of dullness
Failed Thy precious voice to hear?
Has though sought to bring some message
From Thy heart of love to mine,
Which I’ve missed because earth’s clatter
Has drowned out Thy voice divine?
Have my hands been over-active
With a thousand lesser deeds,
While my heart has been oblivious
To my spirit’s greater needs?
Have I been so bent on asking
For Thy help each passing day,
That I’ve not time to listen
To what Thou, O Lord, wouldst say?
O forgive me, precious Saviour!
Still the tumult in my heart,
That my soul might hear the message
Thou art waiting to impart!
