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]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
