Speak for Jesus, speak for Jesus,
Have you not a word to say?
Just a little word for Jesus?
Speak it, speak it while you may;
Ah, how soon the lips may whiten,
And the tongue refuse to tell
How He sought you, how He saved you,
How He loved you - oh, so well!
Speak for Jesus, speak for Jesus,
'Tis a little thing to do;
But, to give you sweet occasion,
Once He gave His life for you;
Yes, and now He send the Spirit,
Whisp'ring to your inmost soul;
Speak for Jesus, speak for Jesus,
Let His love your lips control.
Speak for Jesus, speak for Jesus,
You who know His love revealed,
Tho' your lips until this moment
Never yet have been unsealed;
Speak the blessed "Whosoever,"
Bid the heavy laden come;
Just these little words for Jesus
Bring the weary wand'rer home.
