A child so small, he heard the call
though yet so young and tender
His mother gave him there to live and
helpful service render.
Three times now, wakened in the night.
Who was it called his name
The One that searches heart and soul and
Israel’s will could tame?
His presence known, the answer came in
words not loud but clearest
“Speak Lord” (for I am but a boy)
“Speak for Thy servant heareth.”
Oh child so small, have you heard a
call; a voice that speaks in love?
“Come unto Me and ready be, to dwell
with Me above.”
