O Master, when Thou callest,
No voice may say Thee nay,
For blest are they that follow
Where Thou dost lead the way;
In freshest prime of morning,
Or fullest glow of noon,
The note of heavenly warning
Can never come too soon.
O Master, where Thou callest;
No foot may shrink in fear;
For they who trust Thee wholly
Shall find Thee ever near:
And chamber still and lonely,
Or busy harvest-field,
Where Thou, Lord, rulest only,
Shall precious produce yield.
O Master, when Thou callest,
No heart may dare refuse;
’Tis honor, highest honor,
When Thou dost deign to use;
Our brightest and our fairest,
Our dearest—all are thine;
Thou Who for each one carest,
We hail Thy love’s design.
They who go forth to serve Thee,
We too who serve at home,
May watch and pray together
Until Thy kingdom come.
In Thee for aye united,
Our song of hope we raise,
Till that blest shore is sighted
Where all shall turn to praise.
---Alternative verses---
O Master, where Thou callest;
No foot may shrink in fear;
For they who trust Thee wholly
Shall find Thee ever near:
And quiet room and lonely,
Or busy harvest-field,
Where Thou, Lord, rulest only,
Shall precious produce yield.
They who go forth to serve Thee,
We too who serve at home,
May watch and pray together
Until Thou, Lord, shall come.
In Thee for aye united,
Our song of hope we raise,
Till that blest shore is sighted
Where all shall turn to praise.
