The Cyber Hymnal ‎#14376

14376. Here Am I

1 As the Lord to Samuel spake,
In silent night hours long gone by,
If His voice should you awake,
Would you answer "Here am I"?

Refrain:
Here am I, here am I,
When my name is called
I’ll answer "Here am I."
Here am I, here am I,
When my name is called
I’ll answer "Here am I."

2 When the Lord calls you to strive,
Against the wrongs that round you lie
Every day of earthly life,
Will you answer "Here am I"? [Refrain]

3 To the Savior’s gentle call,
With meek and loving hearts reply
For Him freely leaving all,
Gladly answer "Here am I"? [Refrain]

4 Christ a rich reward will give
To you in His bright home on high,
And He’ll bless you while you live,
If you’ll answer "Here am I"? [Refrain]
