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 mc in Thy train,
And with Thee Thy glad captive bring
When Thou return'st to reign!
