Ye are speak ing of the Sovereign,
Ye are speaking of the State,
Of the battle, of the warrior,
Of the good and of the great:
Why speak ye not of JESUS?
Ye are speaking of the sun shine,
Ye are speaking of the rain,
Of your flocks and pleasant pastures,
And of the golden grain: glance, am
Why speak ye n ot of JESUS?
Ye are speaking of your children,
Of kindly hearth and home,
Of loving and beloved ones
Who far away must roam;
Why speak ye not of JESUS?
He hath kingly orb and scepter,
He hath a royal sway, of
And a priceless wreath of victory
That fadeth not away:
Why speak ye not of JESUS?
He is the Sun of Righteousness,
He sends the Spirit's rain,
And lovingly. He leadeth
To the pastures and the plain;
Why speak ye not of JESUS?
His love is love a biding,
Which never can decay:
Though home and heart be lonely,
He will not turn away:
Then speak to me of JESUS!
Are ye speaking by the Spirit
In glance. an d thought, and word,
And by the quiet wisdom
Which cometh FROM the Lord?
Thus speak to me of JESUS!
Now listen, O my brothers!
And listen, sisters mine,
Go on and scatter freely
Each seed of truth divine;
And ever speak of,JESUS.
But go, remembering daily
To live in blessed strife;
You'll speak of Him most surely,
By likeness to His life;
Thus truly speak of JESUS.
