JUST when Thou wilt, O Master, call, Or at the noon, or evening fall, Or in the dark, or in the light, -- Just when Thou wilt, it must be right. Just when Thou wilt, O Saviour, come, Take me to dwell in Thy bright home! Or when the snows have crowned my head, Or ere it hath one silver thread. Just when Thou wilt, O Bridegroom, say "Rise up, my love, and come away!" Open to me Thy golden gate, Just when Thou wilt, or soon, or late. Just when Thou wilt -- Thy time is best -- Thou shalt appoint my hour of rest, Marked by the Sun of perfect love Shining unchangingly above. Just when Thou wilt! -- no choice for me! Life is a gift to use for Thee; Death is a hushed and glorious tryst, With Thee, my King, my Saviour, Christ! |
