He sat to watch o'er customs paid

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #189 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o’er customs paid, A man of scorned and hardening trade, Alike the symbol and the tool Of foreign masters’ hated rule. 2 But grace within his breast had stirred; There needed but the timely word: It came, true Lord of souls, from thee, That royal summons, 'Follow me.' 3 Enough, when thou wast passing by, To hear thy voice, to meet thine eye: He rose, responsive to the call, And left his task, his gains, his all. 4 O wise exchange! with these to part, And lay up treasure in the heart-- Who now with crown of light doth shine Among the apostolic line. 5 Come, Saviour, as in days of old; Pass where the world has strongest hold, And faithless care and selfish greed Are thorns that choke the holy seed. 6 Who keep thy gifts, O bid them claim The steward’s, not the owner’s name; Who yield up all for thy dear sake, Let them of Matthew’s wealth partake.
