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'st to reign.
