Never Say No, When the Master Calls

Wherever my path­way of du­ty leads

Thro’ sands of the de­sert

or frag­rant meads

O may I be faith­ful

what­ev­er be­falls

May I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls.

May I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls

May I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls;

Whatever it be He re­quires of me

May I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls.

If dark­ness or sun­shine be ’round my way

To ev­er be faith­ful

my Lord

I pray;

In low­li­est cot­tage

or proud­est of halls

May I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls.

If in­to the bat­tle

or called to stand

And wait with my ar­mor and sword in hand

His will shall be mine

for no dan­ger ap­palls

If I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls.

He nev­er for­sakes me

my strength and song!

No serv­ice a bur­den

no strug­gle long!

His care is around me like shel­ter­ing walls

If I nev­er say no

when the Mas­ter calls.
