Barren women they muttered her name
Depressed and hurt she lived in shame
Her rival provoked her till she cried
Pain and disgrace she could not hide
Her neighbors asked her, "What was wrong?
To have a baby, does it take that long?"
Who is this living God you talk about?
Her faith in Him they made her doubt
She woke up each night and bitterly wept
Her husband consoled her as she slept
Her husband consoled her as she slept
In deep anguish she couldn't eat or drink
Her misery was all that she could think
In despair she cried out and prayed,
"God, to your work this child I trade"
She poured out her heart in tears
There on the alter she laid her fears
God stooped down from heaven and heard her cry
He said, "My promise to you I will not defy"
"She's Hannah", the blessed women they say
"She's you! cause your Samuel is on the way"
