303. The Great And Skilful Master

1 The great and skillful Master
With kind and watchful eye
Is over the scribble bending,
His precious silver to try.

2 He watcheth for the moment,
While bright the metal clears,
When deep in the silver mirror
Undimmed His image appears.

3 The great and skillful Master
Who melts the soul and mind
Is watching the heart with patience
While precious souls are refined.

4 And when undimmed His image
Is mirrored in the heart,
Rejoices the gentle Master
That crowned is His noble art.
