14776. Speak, Speak For Jesus

1 Speak, speak for Jesus, why do you fear?
Lo! He is standing graciously near,
Ready to help you, ready to aid,
Speak, speak for Jesus, be not afraid.
Does He not plead for you whene’er you stray?
Does He not care for you day unto day?

Refrain:
Speak, speak for Jesus, be not afraid;
Speak, speak for Jesus, speak, He will aid.

2 Speak, speak for Jesus, why still delay?
Do not, oh do not grieve Him away.
Why do you linger? Bid doubting end.
Speak, speak for Jesus, He is thy friend.
Cast all your fears away, trust Him and stand,
Ready to speak for Him at His command. [Refrain]
