Author: Rev. James D. Burns Hymnal: Carols of Hope #59 (1906) Hymnal Title: Carols of Hope First Line: Hush'd was the evening hymn Lyrics: 1. Hush'd was the evening hymn,
The temple courts were dark;
The lamp was burning dim
Before the sacred ark:
When suddenly a voice divine
Rang thro' the silence of the shrine.
2. Oh, 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.
3. Oh, give me Samuel's heart!
A lowly heart, that waits
When in thy house thou art,
Or watchest at thy gates;
By day and night, a heart that still
Moves at the breathing of thy will. Languages: English Tune Title: [Hush'd was the evening hymn]
