363 ~ O Master! When Thou Callest
1
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.
2
O Master! When 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.
3
O Master! When Thou Callest No heart may dare refuse; 'Tis honor, highest honor Where 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.
4
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!
