Alive and quick to hear Because he loves me so. 2/3

Verse 4 my praise:
O give me Samuel's heart,
A lowly heart, that waits For he has kindly promised

Or watches at thy gates Because he loves me so. 3/3
By day and night a heart that still HOME
Moves at the breathing of thy will. 4/5

Verse 5 sweet story of old
O give me Samuel's mind,

Obedient and resigned I think, when i read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,

His little ones might be, And many dear children are gathering there,
For of such is the kingdom of heaven. 2/3
And if I try to follow
His footsteps here below, Verse 3
