Poem prayer

The following is by William Williams, a Welsh hymn-writer, and he has much to say about seeking God.


Speak, I pray Thee, gentle Jesus
Oh, how passing sweet Thy Words
Breathing o'er my troubled spirit
Peace which never earth affords
All the world's distracting voices
All enticing tones of ill
At Thine accents mild, melodious,
Are subdued and all is still

Tell me Thou art mine, O Saviour,
Grant me an assurance clear,
Banish all my dark misgivings,
Still my doubtings, calm my fear
Oh, my soul within me yearneth
Now to hear Thy voice divine
So shall grief be gone forever
ANd despair no more be mine
