Little Samuel
Author: W. H. Doane Hymnal: Joyful Lays #166 (1884) First Line: When little Samuel heard Refrain First Line: O speak, Lord, O speak thou today Lyrics: 1 When little Samuel heard,
And knew his Maker’s voice,
So kind was every word,
It made his heart rejoice;
God spoke to him by night,
And yet no fear had he;
If I could hear what Samuel heard,
How happy I should be.
Refrain:
O speak, Lord,
O speak Thou today;
Thy willing servant heareth,
Thy voice I obey.
2 I know I must have heard
A whisper in my ear;
A gentle, loving voice,
That told me God was near;
His Holy Book Divine,
With promise bright I see;
To serve the Lord in early youth,
Was surely meant for me. [Refrain]
3 May Samuel’s God be mine,
To guide me every day;
To smile in tender love,
And hear me when I pray;
Then if with all my heart
I try to do His will,
The hand that led my early years
Will lead me onward still. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:4 Languages: English Tune Title: [When little Samuel heard]

Little Samuel
W. Howard Doane
1832 - 1915 Person Name: W. H. Doane Author of "Little Samuel" in Joyful Lays An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks.

===================
Doane, W. H. (William Howard), born in Preston, Connecticut, 1831, and educated for the musical profession by eminent American and German masters. He has had for years the superintendence of a large Baptist Sunday School in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he resides. Although not a hymnwriter, the wonderful success which has attended his musical setting of numerous American hymns, and the number of his musical editions of hymnbooks for Sunday Schools and evangelistic purposes, bring him within the sphere of hymnological literature. Amongst his collections we have:—
(1) Silver Spray, 1868; (2) Pure Gold, 1877; (3) Royal Diadem, 1873; (4) Welcome Tidings, 1877; (5) Brightest and Best, 1875; (6) Fountain of Song; (7) Songs of Devotion, 1870; (8) Temple Anthems, &c.
His most popular melodies include "Near the Cross," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Pass me Not," "More Love to Thee," "Rescue the Perishing," "Tell me the Old, Old Story," &c.
