EN 2865 Dear Lord, on This Thy Servant’s Day

Matt.6.20

Versi Version 1

1

Dear Lord, on this Thy servant’s day,

Who left for Thee the gold and mart,

Who heard Thee whisper, “Come away,”

And followed with a single heart,

2

Give us, amid earth’s weary moil,

And wealth for which men cark and care,

’Mid fortune’s pride, and need’s wild toil,

And broken hearts in purple rare,

3

Give us Thy grace to rise above

The glare of this world’s smelting fires;

Let God’s great love put out the love

Of gold, and gain, and low desires.

4

Still, like a breath from scented lime

Borne into rooms where sick men faint,

His voice comes floating through all time,

Thine own evangelist and saint.

5

Still sweetly rings the Gospel strain

Of golden store that knows not rust:

The love of Christ is more than gain,

And heavenly crowns than yellow dust.
