Little Samuel

Author: W. H. Doane Hymnal: Joyful Lays #166 (1884) First Line: When little Samuel heard Refrain First Line: O speak, Lord, O speak thou today Lyrics: 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:4 Languages: English Tune Title: [When little Samuel heard]
