Lord Jesus, Once You Spoke to Men

1Lord Jesus, once You spoke to men
Upon the mountain and the plain,
O help us listen now as then
And wonder at Your words again.

2We all have secret fears to face,
Our minds and motives to amend.
We seek Your truth, O help us listen
And to Your present friend.

3The gospel speaks; and we receive
Your light, Your love, Your own command.
O help us live what we believe
In daily word of heart and hand.
