The Master Hath Come

Verse 1

The Master has come, and He calls us to follow the track of the footprints He leaves on our way; far over the mountain and through the deep hollow, the path leads us on to the mansions of day: the Master has called us, the children who fear Him, who march 'neath Christ's banner, His own little band; we love Him and seek Him, we long to be near Him, and rest in the light of His beautiful land.

Verse 2

The Master has called us; the road may be dreary, and dangers and sorrows are strewn on the track; but God's Holy Spirit shall comfort the weary; we follow the Savior and cannot turn back; The Master has called us: though doubt and temptation may compass our journey, we cheerfully sing: "press onward, look upward," thru much tribulation; the children of Zion must follow their King.

Verse 3

The Master has called us, in life's early morning, with spirits as fresh as the dew on the sod: we turn from the world, with its smiles and its scorning, to cast in our lot with the people of God: the Master has called us, His sons and His daughters, We plead for His blessing and trust in His love; and thru the green pastures, beside the still waters, He'll lead us at last to His kingdom above.
