Tune:  My Jesus, I love Thee…

O, teach me, my Savior

On Thee just to wait,

Thy love for the lost astray

Do in me create,

With fresh oil anoint me

With boldness in my speech,

For power I depend on Thee

For gospel news to preach!

And as I look up to Thee

for pouring anew

Thy Spirit on desert land

With dawn´s smiling dew,

Thou art me reviving

For those in deepest need,

In this prayerful striving

Thy promptings I heed!

In stillness I´m waiting

With peace and no stress,

I´m happ´ly rejoicing

In Him who me bless,

I won´t last much longer,

But in that grace I rest

That is far much stronger

Than my weak-chested breast!
