I love, I love my Master,

| 1. | I love, I love my Master, |
| | I will not go out free, |
| | For His is my Redeemer; |
| | He paid the price for me. |
| | I would not leave His service, |
| | It is so sweet and blest; |
| | And in the weariest moments |
| | He gives the truest rest. |
| 2. | My Master shed His life-blood |
| | My vassal life to win, |
| | And save me from the bondage |
| | Of tyrant self and sin. |
| | He chose me for His service, |
| | And gave me power to chose |
| | That blessed, perfect freedom, |
| | Which I shall never lose. |
| 3. | I would not halve my service, |
| | His only it must be! |
| | His only, who so loved me, |
| | And gave Himself for me. |
| | Rejoicing and adoring, |
| | Henceforth my song shall be, |
| | I love, I love my Master, |
| | I will not go out free. |
