| A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! (Prov. 15:23) |
| A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. (Prov. 25:11) |
| The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary. (Isa. 50:4) |
Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of Thine own;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children, lost and lone. |
Oh give Thy settled peace to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour. |
