Hymn 475
When Little Samuel Woke.
‘Gbàti Samuẹl ji
- When Little Samuel Woke.
And Heard His Master’s Voice;
At Every Word He Spoke,
How Much Did He Rejoice;
Oh, Blessed Happy Child To Find,
The God Of Heaven So Near And Kind. - If God Would Speak To Me,
And Say He Is My Friend,
How Happy I Should Be
Oh How Would I Attend?
The Smallest Sin I Then Should Fear
If God Almighty Were So Near. - And Does He Never Speak?
Oh, Yes, For In His Word
He Bids Me Come And Seek
The God That Samuel Heard,
In Almost Every Page I See
The God Of Samuel Calls To Me. - And I Beneath His Care,
May Safely Rest My Head;
I Know That God Is There
To Guard My Humble Bed,
And Every Sin I Well May Fear
Since God Almighty Is So – Near. - Like Samuel Let Me Say
Whenever I Read Thy Word,
Speak, Lord, I Would Obey
The Voice That I Have Heard,
And When I In Thy House Appear
Speak For Thy Servant Waits To Hear. Amen.
