1. Stop for a while on your busy way,
Listen and wait for His voice today;
Count it not loss, as you onward plod,
Keep the wires clear between you and God.
Chorus:
Keep the wires clear, keep the wires clear,
Stop for a moment His voice to hear;
While thro’ this stormy world you plod,
Keep the wires clear between you and God.
2. Spite of the things that upon you press,
Out in the world, with its strain and stress;
Hark to the voice, now so faint and dim,
Keep the wires clear, get in touch with Him.
3. Human hearts need just this quiet rest,
Learning of Him, of all Friends the best;
Surely He knows, for the path He trod,
Keep the wires clear between you and God.
