When little Samuel heard

in Hymns

LYRIC

Print

1 When little Samuel heard,
And knew his Maker’s voice,
So kind was every word,
It made his heart rejoice;
God spoke to him by night,
And yet no fear had he;
If I could hear what Samuel heard,
How happy I should be.

Refrain:
O speak, Lord,
O speak Thou today;
Thy willing servant heareth,
Thy voice I obey.

2 I know I must have heard
A whisper in my ear;
A gentle, loving voice,
That told me God was near;
His Holy Book Divine,
With promise bright I see;
To serve the Lord in early youth,
Was surely meant for me.

3 May Samuel’s God be mine,
To guide me every day;
To smile in tender love,
And hear me when I pray;
Then if with all my heart
I try to do His will,
The hand that led my early years
Will lead me onward still.

      When little Samuel heard

      1 When little Samuel heard,
      And knew his Maker’s voice,
      So kind was every word,
      It made his heart rejoice;
      God spoke to him by night,
      And yet no fear had he;
      If I could hear what Samuel heard,
      How happy I should be.

      Refrain:
      O speak, Lord,
      O speak Thou today;
      Thy willing servant heareth,
      Thy voice I obey.

      2 I know I must have heard
      A whisper in my ear;
      A gentle, loving voice,
      That told me God was near;
      His Holy Book Divine,
      With promise bright I see;
      To serve the Lord in early youth,
      Was surely meant for me.

      3 May Samuel’s God be mine,
      To guide me every day;
      To smile in tender love,
      And hear me when I pray;
      Then if with all my heart
      I try to do His will,
      The hand that led my early years
      Will lead me onward still.
