1. Hushed was the evening hymn,
1. Hushed was the evening hymn,
  The temple courts were dark;
The temple courts were dark;
  The lamp was burning dim
The lamp was burning dim
  Before the sacred ark;
Before the sacred ark;
  When suddenly a voice divine
When suddenly a voice divine
  Rang through the silence of the shrine.
Rang through the silence of the shrine.


2. The old man, meek and mild,
2. The old man, meek and mild,
  The priest of Israel, slept;
The priest of Israel, slept;
  His watch the temple child,
His watch the temple child,
  The little Levite, kept;
The little Levite, kept;
  And what from Eli’s sense was sealed
And what from Eli’s sense was sealed
  The Lord to Hannah’s son revealed.
The Lord to Hannah’s son revealed.


3. O give me Samuel’s ear,
3. O give me Samuel’s ear,
  The open ear, O Lord,
The open ear, O Lord,
  Alive and quick to hear
Alive and quick to hear
  Each whisper of Thy Word,
Each whisper of Thy Word,
  Like him to answer at Thy call,
Like him to answer at Thy call,
  And to obey Thee first of all.
And to obey Thee first of all.


4. O give me Samuel’s heart,
4. O give me Samuel’s heart,
  A lowly heart, that waits
A lowly heart, that waits
  Where in Thy house Thou art,
Where in Thy house Thou art,
  Or watches at Thy gates;
Or watches at Thy gates;
  By day and night, a heart that still
By day and night, a heart that still
  Moves at the breathing of Thy will.
Moves at the breathing of Thy will.


5. O give me Samuel’s mind,
5. O give me Samuel’s mind,
  A sweet unmurm’ring faith,
A sweet unmurm’ring faith,
  Obedient and resigned
Obedient and resigned
  To Thee in life and death,
To Thee in life and death,
  That I may read with childlike eyes
That I may read with childlike eyes
  Truths that are hidden from the wise.
Truths that are hidden from the wise.

1. Hushed was the evening hymn,
 The temple courts were dark;
 The lamp was burning dim
 Before the sacred ark;
 When suddenly a voice divine
 Rang through the silence of the shrine.

2. The old man, meek and mild,
 The priest of Israel, slept;
 His watch the temple child,
 The little Levite, kept;
 And what from Eli’s sense was sealed
 The Lord to Hannah’s son revealed.

3. O 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.

4. O give me Samuel’s heart,
 A lowly heart, that waits
 Where in Thy house Thou art,
 Or watches at Thy gates;
 By day and night, a heart that still
 Moves at the breathing of Thy will.

5. O give me Samuel’s mind,
 A sweet unmurm’ring faith,
 Obedient and resigned
 To Thee in life and death,
 That I may read with childlike eyes
 Truths that are hidden from the wise.
