Light in the Valley ‎#62

62. The Master has Come, and Calleth for Thee

1 When Martha met Christ, when her brother was dead,
She straight with the news to her sister did flee;
And running up to her, she eagerly said,
"The Master has come, and calleth for thee."

Chorus:
The Master has come, the Master has come,
Come now, go quickly and see;
The Master has come, the Master has come,
He calleth, he calleth for thee.

2 Dear sinner, we point you to Calvary's brow,
Where suffering there, that dear Christ you may see;
He died to redeem you, O come to him now,
"The Master has come, and calleth for thee." [Chorus]

3 Dear Christian, the harvest fields are now all white,
Point souls to that dear one who died on the tree;
Work while it is day, for it soon will be night;
"The Master has come, and calleth for thee." [Chorus]

4 That home up in heaven is waiting for all,
A robe and a crown waits for you and for me;
Great joy for his people who answer his call,
"The Master has come, and calleth for thee." [Chorus]
