Dear Lord and Master Mine

Dear Lord and mas­ter mine

Thy hap­py serv­ant see;

My con­quer­or

with what joy di­vine

Thy cap­tive clings to Thee!

I love Thy yoke to wear

To feel Thy gra­cious bands;

Sweetly re­strained by Thy care

And hap­py in Thy hands.

No bar would I re­move

No bond would I un­bind;

Within the lim­its of Thy love

Full li­ber­ty I find.

I would not walk alone

But still with Thee

my God;

At every step my blind­ness own

And ask of Thee the road.

The weak­ness I en­joy

That casts me on Thy breast;

The con­flicts that Thy strength em­ploy

Make me di­vine­ly blest.

Dear Lord and mas­ter mine

Still keep Thy serv­ant true;

My guard­ian and my guide di­vine

Bring

bring Thy pil­grim through.

My con­quer­or and my king

Still keep me in Thy train;

And with Thee Thy glad cap­tive bring

When Thou re­turn to reign.
