When little Samuel woke
And heard his Makers 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 was my friend
How happy should I be
Oh how would I attend
The smallest sin I then should fear
If God Almighty was so near

And does he never speak
O 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 speaks 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 eer I read thy word
Speak Lord I would obey
The voice that I have heard
And when In thy courts appear
Speak for thy servant waits to hear
