<p>Hushed was the evening hymn,<br>
The temple courts were dark;<br>
The lamp was burning dim<br>
Before the sacred ark;<br>
When suddenly a voice divine<br>
Rang through the silence of the shrine.</p>
<p>The old man, meek and mild,<br>
The priest of Israel, slept;<br>
His watch the temple child,<br>
The little Levite, kept;<br>
And what from Eli&#8217;s sense was sealed<br>
The Lord to Hannah&#8217;s son revealed.</p>
<p>O give me Samuel&#8217;s ear,<br>
The open ear, O Lord,<br>
Alive and quick to hear<br>
Each whisper of Thy Word,<br>
Like him to answer at Thy call,<br>
And to obey Thee first of all.</p>
<p>O give me Samuel&#8217;s heart,<br>
A lowly heart, that waits<br>
Where in Thy house Thou art,<br>
Or watches at Thy gates;<br>
By day and night, a heart that still<br>
Moves at the breathing of Thy will.</p>
<p>O give me Samuel&#8217;s mind,<br>
A sweet unmurm&#8217;ring faith,<br>
Obedient and resigned<br>
To Thee in life and death,<br>
That I may read with child like eyes<br>
Truths that are hidden from the wise.</p>
