1. Speak, I pray Thee, gentle Jesus
O, how passing sweet Thy words
Breathing o’er my troubled spirit
Peace which never earth affords
All the world’s distracting voices
All the tempting tones of ill
At Thy voice, so mild, melodious
Are subdued and all is still

2. Tell me Thou art mine, O Savior
Speak a true assurance clear
Banish all my dark misgivings
Still my doubting, calm my fear
In Thy righteousness I’ll triumph
In Thy wisdom I’ll be wise
In Thy robes I’m perfect beauty
In Thy power I’ll arise

BRIDGE:
I’ll arise, in Thy power, I’ll arise
I’ll arise, I’ll arise, in Thy power, I’ll arise
I’ll arise, I’ll arise, in Thy power, I’ll arise

OUTRO:
Speak, I pray Thee, gentle Jesus
O, how passing sweet Thy words
Breathing o’er my troubled spirit
Peace which never earth affords
All the world’s distracting voices
All the tempting tones of ill
At Thy voice, so mild, melodious
Are subdued
In Thy righteousness I’ll triumph
In Thy wisdom I’ll be wise
In Thy robes I’m perfect beauty
In Thy power I’ll arise

(vs. 2b from “God Of Mercy Whose Compassion” by Williams)
