Samuel Poem

Oh give me Samuel's ear,
an open ear, oh Lord,
alive and quick, to hear
each whisper of thy word.
Like him, to answer to thy call
and to obey thee, first of all.

This poem was quoted by Pastor Bill Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, Ill. during his sermon, “When God Whispers,” December 2008, in the Crystal Cathedral. Does anybody know who wrote it?
