124. Ye Have Done it Unto Me

1 Have you carried cups of water,
From the fresh and living spring,
To the thirsty, faint and weary,
For the love of Christ our King?
Then, when all the journey's ended,
Sweet the welcome home will be,
When you hear the Master saying,
"Ye have done it unto me,"
Unto me, unto me,
When you hear the Master saying,
"Ye have done it unto me."

2 Have you tried to cheer the stranger?
Spoken comfort to the sad?
Have you helped the poor and needy?
Made the little children glad?
Then, beyond the walls of jasper,
By the shining crystal sea,
You will hear the Master saying,
"Ye have done it unto me,"
Unto me, unto me,
When you hear the Master saying,
"Ye have done it unto me."

3 Have you brightened lonely pathways
With the gentle light of love,
And to those who grope in darkness
Brought the sunshine from above?
When the trumpet has resounded,
For the last great jubilee,
You will hear the Master saying,
"You have done it unto me,"
Unto me, unto me,
You will hear the Master saying,
"You have done it unto me."
