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.”
