The Master Has Come

Verse 1 The Master has come And He calls us to follow The track of His footprints He leaves on our way; Far over the mountain And through the deep hollow, The path leads us on To the eternal day: The Master has called us, The children who fear Him, Who march ‘neath Christ’s banner His own little flock; We love Him and seek Him, We long to be near Him, And rest in the strength Of this unyielding Rock. Verse 2 The Master has called us To walk in the valleys, The shadow of death And the evil so near; But God who does lead us To feed in green meadows, We hear His rejoicing That brings us to cheer. The Master has called us, We run hard to hold Him, And cling to our Shepherd, Who stands as our King; Defends us and helps us, Our hearts now adoring, We’ll pass thru this valley And shout as we sing. Verse 3 The Master has called us To live for His glory, To tell of His mercy And wonderful grace; Salvation, revelation, Redeemed is our story, He seeks us and finds us And quickens our pace. The Master has called us And love is His banner, The sheep of His pasture The chosen in Him; Our bondage is broken, Our enemies fallen, We’ll march on victorious Thru God we shall win. Verse 4 The Master has called us The road may be dreary; And dangers and demons May form their attack; Press onward, look upward Through much tribulation, We follow the Savior And cannot turn back. The Master has called us A people most favored, To ever move forward And never retreat; So work on dear brethren Till we rest from labor, When we’re in the presence Of Jesus so sweet.
