<p>The light of God is falling,<br>
Upon life&#8217;s common way;<br>
The Master&#8217;s voice is calling,<br>
&#8220;Come, walk with Me today&#8221;;<br>
No duty can seem lowly<br>
To him who lives with Thee,<br>
And all of life grows holy,<br>
O Christ of Galilee!</p>
<p>Who shares his life&#8217;s pure pleasures,<br>
And walks the honest road,<br>
Who trades with heaping measures,<br>
And lifts his brother&#8217;s load,<br>
Who turns the wrong down bluntly,<br>
And lends the right a hand,<br>
He dwells in God&#8217;s own country,<br>
He tills the Holy Land.</p>
<p>Where human lives are thronging<br>
In toil and pain and sin,<br>
While cloistered hearts are longing<br>
To bring the kingdom in,<br>
O Christ, the elder Brother<br>
Of proud and beaten men,<br>
When they have found each other,<br>
The kingdom will come then!</p>
<p>Thy ransomed host in glory,<br>
All souls that sin and pray,<br>
Turn toward the cross that bore Thee;<br>
&#8220;Behold the Man!&#8221; they say;<br>
And while Thy church is pleading<br>
For all who would do good,<br>
We hear Thy true voice leading<br>
Our song of brotherhood.</p>
