SS&S Hymn #500: One is our Master

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

One is our Master, the blessed Redeemer,
Strong is the bond that unites us in Him;
Oh may the love His own Spirit hath kindled
Burn with a light that will never grow dim.
Brethren in Jesus, let us be faithful,
Faithful to Him who is guiding our ways;
True in allegiance and loving obedience,
Till in His glory hosannas we raise.

2

One is our Master; with gladness we’ll serve Him,
"Doing the will" of the Lord" from the heart,"
Knowing His strength is made perfect in weakness—
All that is needful His grace will impart.

3

One is our Master, the highest and noblest,
Yet in His tenderness always" the same";
Be it our honour to follow His banner,
Blessing for ever be unto His name.

4

One is our Master; and happy those servants,
Watching and ready when’er He may come;
Changed in His image, from" glory to glory, "
Joyful reward in His kingdom and home.
