The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1189

1189. Dear Master, in Thy Way

1. Dear Master, in Thy way
Our willing feet shall tread;
What joy Thy mandate to obey,
Our great and glorious Head.

2. The closing waters hid
Our former world, and we,
Seeking through death our Savior’s side,
Rejoice to die with Thee.

3. And as we rise again,
Be this confession giv’n,
That we have ris’n with Christ to reign
The Lord of earth and Heav’n.

4. So would we die to live,
And live no more to die;
Our risen lives, O Christ, receive
And seal them in the sky.
