Hymn A & M 563- He sat to watch o'er customs paid




 1. He sat to watch o'er customs paid,

a man of scorned and hardening trade,

alike the symbol and the tool

of foreign masters' hated rule.


2. But grace within his breast had stirred,

there needed but the timely word;

it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,

that royal summons, "Follow me."


3. Enough, when thou wert passing by,

to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye;

he rose, responsive to the call,

and left his task, his gains, his all.


4. O wise exchange! with these to part,

and lay up treasures in the heart;

with twofold crown of light to shine

amid thy servants' foremost line.


5. Come, Savior, as in days of old;

pass where the world has strongest hold,

and faithless care and selfish greed

are thorns that choke the holy seed.


6. Who keeps thy gifts, O bid them claim

the steward's, not the owner's name;

who yield up all for thy dear sake.

let them of Matthew's wealth partake.
