Dear Lord and Master mine

Verse 1

Dear Lord and Master mine, Thy happy servant see; My Conqueror, with what joy Divine, Thy captive clings to Thee.

The weakness I enjoy That casts me on Thy breast; The conflicts that Thy strength employ Make me Divinely blest.

Dear Lord and Master mine, Still keep Thy servant true; My Guardian and my Guide Divine, Bring, bring Thy pilgrim through.

Verse 7

My Conqueror and my King, Still keep me in Thy train; And with Thee Thy dear captive bring When Thou return'st to reign. Amen.
