This song by Elisha A. Hoffman goes well with the sermon our pastor preached on Wednesday. It asks some searching questions to ponder in these coming days in our country.
May the Master Count on You?
1. When the trumpet sounds to battle
With the strong and wily foe,
And the hosts of our Immanuel
To the earnest conflict go,
Will you prove that you are loyal?
Will you prove that you are true?
For devoted, faithful service,
May the Master count on you?
Chorus:
May He count on you, my brother?
May the Master count on you,
In the thickest of the battle,
To be faithful, to be true?
2. There are those who follow Jesus
When there is no cross to bear,
But refuse the burden bearing
And the toil with Him to share;
Oh! It grieves the blessed Master
That their hearts are so untrue;
Surely for a better service
The dear Lord may count on you?
3. Are you fully consecrated
To the service of the Lord?
Are you ready on the battle-field
To wield for Him the sword?
Are you one among the faithful?
Are you one among the true?
And for steady life-long service
May the Master count on you?
