Text: | Hushed Was the Evening Hymn |
Author: | Rev. James D. Burns |
Tune: | [Hush'd was the evening hymn] |
Composer: | A. S. Sullivan |
1. Hush'd was the evening hymn,
The temple courts were dark;
The lamp was burning dim
Before the sacred ark:
When suddenly a voice divine
Rang thro' the silence of the shrine.
2. Oh, give me Samuel's ear
The open ear, O Lord!
Alive and quick to hear
Each whisper of thy word;
Like him to answer at thy call,
And to obey thee first of all.
3. Oh, give me Samuel's heart!
A lowly heart, that waits
When in thy house thou art,
Or watchest at thy gates;
By day and night, a heart that still
Moves at the breathing of thy will.
