O Lord and Master of Us All (EN 4348)

EN 4348 O Lord and Master of Us All

John.13.13

Versi Version 1

1

O Lord and Master of us all,

Whate’er our name or sign,

We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,

We test our lives by Thine.

2

Thou judgest us; Thy purity

Doth all our lusts condemn;

The love that draws us nearer Thee

Is hot with wrath to them.

3

Our thoughts lie open to Thy sight

And naked to Thy glance

Our secret sins are in the light

Of Thy pure countenance.

4

Yet weak and blinded though we be,

Thou dost our service own;

We bring our varying gifts to Thee,

And Thou rejectest none.

5

To Thee our full humanity,

Its joys and pains belong;

The wrong of man to man on Thee

Inflicts a deeper wrong.

6

Who hates, hates Thee; who loves, becomes

Therein to Thee allied:

All sweet accords of hearts and homes

In Thee are multiplied.

7

Apart from Thee all gain is loss,

All labor vainly done;

The solemn shadow of the cross

Is better than the sun.

8

Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord,

What may Thy service be?

Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word,

But simply following Thee.

9

We faintly hear, we dimly see,

In differing phrase we pray;

But dim or clear, we own in Thee

The Light, the Truth, the Way.
