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.
