Lyrics
Oh, tender and sweet was the Master's voice
As He lovingly call'd to me,
Come over the line, it is only a step—
I am waiting, My child, for thee.
But my sins are many, my faith is small,
Lo! the answer came quick and clear;
Thou needest not trust in thyself at all,
Step over the line I am here.
But my flesh is weak, I tearfully said,
And the way I cannot see;
I fear if I try I may sadly fail,
And thus may dishonor Thee.
Ah, the world is cold, and I cannot go back,
Press forward I surely must;
I will place my hand in His wounded palm,
Step over the line, and trust.
Refrain:
Over the line, hear the sweet refrain,
Angels are chanting the heavenly strain:
Over the line, —Why should I remain
With a step between me and Jesus.
(4th v. Over the line, —I will not remain,
I'll cross it and go to Jesus.)
As He lovingly call'd to me,
Come over the line, it is only a step—
I am waiting, My child, for thee.
But my sins are many, my faith is small,
Lo! the answer came quick and clear;
Thou needest not trust in thyself at all,
Step over the line I am here.
But my flesh is weak, I tearfully said,
And the way I cannot see;
I fear if I try I may sadly fail,
And thus may dishonor Thee.
Ah, the world is cold, and I cannot go back,
Press forward I surely must;
I will place my hand in His wounded palm,
Step over the line, and trust.
Refrain:
Over the line, hear the sweet refrain,
Angels are chanting the heavenly strain:
Over the line, —Why should I remain
With a step between me and Jesus.
(4th v. Over the line, —I will not remain,
I'll cross it and go to Jesus.)
