Hymnal: Wondrous Love #61 (1885) First Line: Only a word for the Master Lyrics: 1 Only a word for the Master,
Lovingly, quietly said,
Only a word, yet the master heard,
And some fainting hearts were fed.
Refrain:
Only a word,
Only a word,
Only a word,
yet the Master heard.
2 Only some act of devotion,
Willingly, joyfully done;
Surely ‘twas naught, so the proud world thought,
But yet souls for Christ were won. [Refrain]
3 Only an hour with the children,
Pleasantly, cheerfully given,
Yet seed was sown in that hour alone,
Which would bring forth fruit for heaven. [Refrain]
4 Only— but Jesus is looking
Constantly, tenderly down
To earth, and sees those who strive to please,
And their love He loves to crown. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Only a word for the Master]
