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. Used With Tune: [Hush'd was the evening hymn]

The Missionary Saviour

A world in awful darkness lay, No ray of hope shone in; And not a soul the price could pay To cancel earth's dark sin.

Within the shadow, dark and deep, Of death, dwelt all the race; Fear into every heart did creep While Mercy hid her face. Refrain: But when among the host above Was heard the pleading cry, For one to go to men in love, Our Lord said, "Here am I." 3. If Christ was willing thus to come Down from his home on high To leave his Father's glorious throne For foreigners to die Refrain: Shall those who claim his own to be, Refuse to send the light, To foreign lands across the sea Long wrapt in shades of night? 4. Still many souls in darkness wait, And still is heard the cry From sinful ones without the gate, "O save us ere we die." Refrain: Then may the love of Christ inspire Our souls with sacred zeal; Till melting hearts with holy fire Before his throne shall kneel. Used With Tune: [A world in awful darkness lay]
