SPEAK TO THE ROCK
1. Fainting in the
desert, Israel's thousands stand
At the rock of
Kadesh, Hark! the Lord's command,
Speak to the Rock,
bid the waters flow;
Strike not its
bosom, opened long ago,
Speak to the Rock,
'till the waters flow.
Refrain
Speak to the Rock,
bid the waters flow,
Doubt not the
Spirit, given long ago;
Take what He
waiteth freely to bestow,
Drink 'till its
fullness all thy being know.
2. Blessed Rock of
Ages, Tbou art open still,
Blessod Holy
Spirit, all our being fills;
Still Thou dost
say, wherefore struggle so?
Call to the Spirit,
whisper soft and low.
Speak to the Rock,
bid the waters flow.
3. Oh, for trust
more simple, fully to believe,
Oh, for hearts more
childlike, freely to receive;
E'en as a babe, on
its mother's breast,
So on Thy bosom,
let my spirit rest,
Filled with Thy
life, with Thy blessing blest.
