Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Speak that my soul may hear;
Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Calm every doubt and fear.

Oh, speak to my heart today.

Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Purge me from every sin;
Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Help me the lost to win.

It is no longer mine;
Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus,
I would be wholly Thine.
