Help Us To Hear

orchidee



Tune: St Timothy

('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

1 Samuel 3 v.1-10 parts

************

Lord, help us listen and to hear

And sense your presence near

What you will speak in word or sign

Help us to you align

 

We hear our fellow men, but more

Important it is sure

To hear your word, your call obey

As Samuel in his day

 

For young he was, in temple stayed

With priest Eli and prayed

Your night-call to him, 'Samuel'

You knew his name right well

 

Eli did say to him, 'If He

Call you again, so be

Say, "Speak, Lord, for your servant hears

Give me grace, calm my fears"'

 

For you Lord say, 'Man does not live

On bread alone', you give

The life-giving words, more import

Than all men's worldly thought
