Lyrics

The Mas­ter is come and calleth
O bro­ther, He calls for thee;
In ten­der­est tones He’s say­ing,
Arise and fol­low Me.

Refrain

Arise, arise,
Arise and fol­low Me;
The Mas­ter is gent­ly call­ing,
Arise and fol­low Me.

If thou wilt be­lieve Him ful­ly,
That He is the Christ in­deed;
He’ll give to thee life eter­nal,
In this thy time of need.

Refrain

Then trust Him and brave­ly fol­low,
The Sav­ior is kind and true;
O serve Him with joy and glad­ness,
He’s call­ing now for you.
