Lyrics

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?
