O, Lord, breathe your life in each  
 word that I speak;  
 Help me in each sentence your  
 honour to seek\.  
 Refrain me when words that will  
 do no one good  
 Would come to my lips; help me  
 speak what I should\.  
 And when opportunity  
 comes on my way  
 To witness for you, guide, O  
 Lord, what I say\.  
 O give me the courage to  
 speak as I ought\-\-  
 To lift up your name and the  
 things you have taught;  
 That none have occasion my  
 speech to condemn,  
 That through my words Christ would be  
 shining to them\.
