Our Lord and Master

By Llewellyn A. Morrison

"Ye call Me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am." John 13:13.

Ye call Me Lord and Master, And ye do well to pause And think upon the vaster Outreach of all the laws That in My kingdom govern, And fullest rights impart, That make of Me the Sovereign Of every faithful heart.

I am your Lord and Master. Ye date your years by Me; Old Time trips ever faster Unto eternity. I was, at the beginning, Ere worlds began to roll; I paid the price for winning The Kingdom of the Soul.

I am your Lord and Master Because I am your King; A gentle, watchful Shepherd, Who, by His hand, doth bring The sheep safe home at even, And every good restore, To dwell, at rest in heaven, With Me, forevermore.

I own all earthly causes, All human plans I own; In life's benignant pauses, They marshal at My throne; The saints have vindication— E'en tho I tarry long To gain the expiation And ring the triumph song.

My truth is not on trial— I am Myself the Truth; My love brooks no denial, It hath immortal youth. Whereso My Spirit hovers— Wherever He doth come— My people all are lovers, As in My radiant home.

I prove My love by serving; Prove thine by service too. My power is still conserving The faithful and the true. All grace thy faith awaiteth, According to My Word; My strength thy purpose mateth; I am thy perfect Lord.
