Behold, the Master passeth by!

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #169b (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ's Call Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by! Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye? With low sad voice He calleth thee, "Leave this vain world, and follow Me." 2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care, Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare? From earthly toils lift up thine eye; Behold, the Master passeth by! 3 One heard Him calling long ago, And straightway left all things below, Counting his earthly gain as loss For Jesus and His blessèd cross. 4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear Seemed every day afresh to hear; Its echoes stirred his spirit still, And fired his hope, and nerved his will. 5 God gently calls us every day: Why should we then our bliss delay? He calls to heaven and endless light: Why should we love the dreary night? 6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call, At which he rose and left his all: Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me; I will leave all, and follow Thee. Amen. Tune Title: ST. LAWRENCE
