Samuel:
Speak not of his tender years;
For the Lord knoweth the times and the seasons.
(She blows horn.)
Neither will he cause the flower to blow on the seedling;
Nor the fruit on the sapling;
Nor an old head on young shoulders.
(She blows horn.)
(There is a pause while all listen; then she blows again.)
Daughter of Jesse: He cometh, for I hear his harp in the distance.
(The song is heard, beginning faintly, but growing stronger. David enters on the last two lines.)
Song: "The Lord is My Shepherd," Music by S. Liddle.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
