Hushed was the evening hymn

Author: James D. Burns Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 238 hymnals Lyrics: 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. Amen. Topics: Obedience Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:9 Used With Tune: SAMUEL
