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.”
