As the Lord to Samuel spake,
In silent night hours long gone by,
If His voice should you awake,
Would you answer Here am I
?
Refrain
Here am I, here am I,
When my name is called
I’ll answer Here am I.
Here am I, here am I,
When my name is called
I’ll answer Here am I.
When the Lord calls you to strive,
Against the wrongs that round you lie
Every day of earthly life,
Will you answer Here am I
?
Refrain
To the Savior’s gentle call,
With meek and loving hearts reply
For Him freely leaving all,
Gladly answer Here am I
?
Refrain
Christ a rich reward will give
To you in His bright home on high,
And He’ll bless you while you live,
If you’ll answer Here am I
?
