Lyrics

The Mas­ter has come, He call­eth for me,
Oh, pre­cious the mes­sage and true;
With haste, Lord, I rise and come un­to Thee,
All praise for the glad in­ter­view.

Refrain

The Mas­ter is come, He call­eth for thee;
He call­eth for thee, He call­eth for thee,
He call­eth, He call­eth for thee and for me.

The Mas­ter has come, He call­eth for thee,
Yes, Je­sus the Mas­ter has come;
Believe in His word, and trust in His grace,
Why long­er in sin shouldst thou roam?

Refrain

The Mas­ter has come, He call­eth for thee,
Away with thy earth­ly care;
He of­fers sweet rest, O sin­ner, to thee;
Thy bur­den He glad­ly will bear.
