10280. The Inner Circle

1 Have you heard the voice of Jesus
Whisper, I have chosen you?
Does He tell you in communion
What He wishes you to do?

Refrain:
Are you in the inner circle?
Have you heard the Master’s call?
Have you giv’n your life to Jesus?
Is He now your all in all?

2 As the first disciples followed,
As they went where’er He sent;
So today we, too, may follow,
On His leading still intent. [Refrain]

3 Or, if He shall choose to send us
On some errand in His name,
We can serve Him as disciples,
For our place is just the same. [Refrain]

4 Master, at Thy footstool kneeling,
We, Thy children, humbly wait;
Lead us, send us, bless us, use us,
Till we enter Heaven’s gate. [Refrain]
