...and Make Me Listen

Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
To hasten, or control;
Oh, speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
(verse 3 of 'O Jesus I Have Promised', lyrics by John Ernest Bode)
