Hymn 291 THE MASTER HATH COME Lyrics

1. The Master hath come, and He calls us to follow,
The tracks of the footprints He leaves on our way;
Far over the mountain and thro’ 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.

2. 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: tho’ doubt and temptation
May compass our journey, we cheerfully sing;
“Press onward, look upward,” Thro’ much tribulation;
The children of Zion must follow their King.

3. The Master hath called us, in life’s early morning
With spirits as fresh as the dew on the sod;
We tum from the world, with its smiles and its scoming.
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 thro’ the green. pastures, beside the still waters.
He’ll lead us at last to His Kingdom above.
