Little Samuel

Verse 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.

Chorus

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
