I’ll speak a word for Je­sus!
How could I si­lent be,
When all my life, my Sav­ior,
Has done so much for me?

Refrain

I’ll speak a word for Je­sus!
My heart with joy doth sing!
Why should I fear to ren­der
This ser­vice for my king?

My tremb­ling lips may fal­ter,
Yet glad­ly I will say
The mes­sage Je­sus gives me,
To cheer some soul to­day.

Refrain

I’ll speak a word for Je­sus!
His cleans­ing blood I know,
And I must tell to oth­ers
The debt of love I owe.

Refrain

A word! yes, for my Je­sus
I’ll speak till life shall end,
That those who do not know Him,
May find the sin­ner’s friend.

Refrain
