When little Samuel woke, And heard his master's voice; At ev'ry word he spoke, How much did he rejoice; Oh, blessed happy child to find, The God of heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 When'er 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.
