The Master hath 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 hath 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.
The Master hath 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 Saviour
and cannot turn back;
The Master hath called us;
though doubt and temptation
May compass our journey,
we cheerfully sing:
“Press onward, look upward,”
through much tribulation;
The children of Zion
must follow their King.
The Master hath 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 hath called us,
His sons and His daughters,
We plead for His blessing
and trust in His love;
And through the green pastures,
beside the still waters,
He’ll lead us at last
to His kingdom above.
