Hushed Was The Evening Hymn,
The Temple Courts Were Dark;
The Lamp Was Burning Dim
Before The Sacred Ark;
When Suddenly A Voice Divine
Rang Through The Silence Of The Shrine.
The Old Man, Meek And Mild,
The Priest Of Israel, Slept;
His Watch The Temple Child,
The Little Levite, Kept:
And What From Eli’s Sense Was Sealed
The Lord To Hannah’s Son Revealed.
O Give Me Samuel’s Ear,
The Open Ear, O Lord,
Alive And Quick To Hear
Each Whisper Of Thy Word,
Like Him To Answer At Thy Call,
And To Obey Thee First Of All.
O Give Me Samuel’s Heart,
A Lowly Heart, That Waits
Where In Thy House Thou Art,
Or Watches At Thy Gates
By Day And Night? A Heart That Still
Moves At The Breathing Of Thy Will.
O Give Me Samuel’s Mind,
A Sweet Unmurmuring Faith,
Obedient And Resigned
To Thee In Life And Death,
That I May Read With Childlike Eyes
Truths That Are Hidden From The Wise.
