19. Here Am I

1 As the Lord to Samuel spake,
In silent night hours long gone by,
If His voice should you awake,
Would you answer Her 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.

2 When the Lord calls you to strive
Against the wrongs that ‘round you lie
Ev’ry day of earthly life,
Will you answer Here am I? [Refrain]

3 To the Savior’s gentle call,
With meek and loving heart reply;
For Him freely leaving all,
Gladly answer Here am I? [Refrain]

4 Christ a rich reward will give
To you in His bright home on high,
And He’ll bless you while you live,
If you answer Here am I. [Refrain]
