The Master Is Come, And Calleth For Thee.

Topics: classic

Who calleth? - Thy Father calleth,     Run, O Daughter, to wait on Him:     He Who chasteneth but for a season     Trims thy lamp that it burn not dim.     Who calleth? - Thy Master calleth,     Sit, Disciple, and learn of Him:     He Who teacheth wisdom of Angels     Makes thee wise as the Cherubim,     Who calleth? - Thy Monarch calleth,     Rise, O Subject, and follow Him:     He is stronger than Death or Devil,     Fear not thou if the foe be grim.     Who calleth? - Thy Lord God calleth.     Fall, O Creature, adoring Him:     He is jealous, thy God Almighty,     Count not dear to thee life or limb.     Who calleth? - Thy Bridegroom calleth,     Soar, O Bride, with the Seraphim:     He Who loves thee as no man loveth,     Bids thee give up thy heart to Him.
