Only a little captive maid
From Israel’s land exiled,
She often to Jehovah prayed
Though but a little child.
A hopeless leper was her lord,
Nor knew God’s sovereign grace;
She softly spoke to him the word,
“Go seek the prophet’s face.”
Her master listened to her voice
And to Elisha sped;
Now cleansed, how did his heart rejoice!
He lived, who once was dead.
O say not then, “I’m but a child,”
But seek the Saviour’s face,
He’ll make you clean and undefiled,
A monument of grace,
And then to others you may go,
To tell them of His love;
Through you the gospel streams may flow,
Which have their source above.
