The Master has Come, and Calleth for Thee

Johnson Oatman • English

Primary Scripture: John 11:28

Verse 1

When Martha met Christ, when her brother was dead, She straight with the news to her sister did flee; And running up to her, she eagerly said, "The Master has come, and calleth for thee."

Chorus

The Master has come, the Master has come, Come now, go quickly and see; The Master has come, the Master has come, He calleth, he calleth for thee.

Verse 2

Dear sinner, we point you to Calvary's brow, Where suffering there, that dear Christ you may see; He died to redeem you, O come to him now, "The Master has come, and calleth for thee."

Chorus

The Master has come, the Master has come, Come now, go quickly and see; The Master has come, the Master has come, He calleth, he calleth for thee.

Verse 3

Dear Christian, the harvest fields are now all white, Point souls to that dear one who died on the tree; Work while it is day, for it soon will be night; "The Master has come, and calleth for thee."

Chorus

The Master has come, the Master has come, Come now, go quickly and see; The Master has come, the Master has come, He calleth, he calleth for thee.

Verse 4

That home up in heaven is waiting for all, A robe and a crown waits for you and for me; Great joy for his people who answer his call, "The Master has come, and calleth for thee."

Chorus

The Master has come, the Master has come, Come now, go quickly and see; The Master has come, the Master has come, He calleth, he calleth for thee.
