Author: C. E. P. Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #109 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Only a word for the Master,
Lovingly, quietly said;
Only a word! yet the Master heard,
And some fainting hearts were fed.
2 Only a look of remonstrance,
Sorrowful, gentle and deep;
Only a look! yet the proud man shook,
And he went alone to weep.
3 Only some act of devotion,
Willingly, joyfully done;
Surely 'twas naught "so the proud world tho't,"
Yet souls for Christ were won.
4 Only an hour with the children,
Pleasantly, cheerfully giv'n;
Only an hour, yet the seed was sown,
Which will bring forth fruit for heav'n. Languages: English Tune Title: [Only a word for the Master]
