Shine on us with the light of your pure day. 3 You are the life, by which alone we live, and all our substance and our strength receive. Sustain us by your faith and by your power, and give us strength in every trying hour. 4 You have the true and perfect gentleness, no harshness have you and no bitterness; Grant us the grace that flows in you so free that we may dwell in perfect unity. 5 Our hope is all in you and you alone; we trust the promise that your word makes known. O dear Redeemer, make us calm and sure, that in your strength we evermore endure.

The Master Hath Come

Author: Sarah Doudney Meter: 12.11.12.11 D Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: John 11:28 First Line: The Master hath come, and He calls us to follow Lyrics: 1. 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 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 Savior 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 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 thro' the green pastures, beside the still waters, He'll lead us at last to His kingdom above.
