Only a Song

Verse 1

Only a song for the Master, Sweetly and fervently giv’n, And One who in darkness had wandered, Returned to the Saviour and heav’n.

Chorus

Only a song, only a song, Truly and tenderly giv’n, To those who are fainting and weary, ‘Twill lead them to Jesus in heav’n.

Verse 2

Only a song for the Master, A heart from its sorrow beguiled, Forgot for a moment its burden, Looked up thro’ its weeping and smiled.

Verse 3

Only a song for the Master, And eyes that were closing in death, Shone bright with a heavenly glory, Grew fainter and fainter each breath.

Verse 4

Only a song for the Master, The lips of the singer are dumb, They’re singing a song for the Master, Where sorrow and death can not come.
