How true the Mas¤ter’s words so strong ap¤peal¤ing
The High¤est wis¤dom to our minds sup¤ply,
God’s on¤ly way of fruit¤ful¤ness re¤veal¤ing,
To fall with Him in¤to the ground and die.

To serve their Mas¤ter, man¤y hearts are pray¤ing,
For grace to hon¤our Him they dai¤ly sigh,
Their souls with long¤ing break to keep His say¤ings,
And fall with Him in¤to the ground and die.

How great the Mas¤ter’s words, so full of mean¤ing,
To those who seek their Lord to glo¤ri¤fy,
His love un¤speak¤a¤ble their souls are wean¤ing,
To fall with Him in¤to the ground and die.

Oh, hear the Mas¤ter’s mes¤sage and re¤tain¤ing
The faith¤ful words of Him who can¤not lie,
Let us go forth, the love of Christ con¤strain¤ing,
And fall with Him in¤to the ground and die.

Oh, Bless¤ed Mas¤ter, Thou shalt do the choos¤ing,
Thy life in me Thou now shalt mag¤ni¤fy,
Strength¤en my heart and will to do the los¤ing,
And fall with Him in¤to the ground and die.
