He Sat To Watch O'er Customs Paid

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #138 (1970) Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o'er customs paid, A man of scorned and hard'ning trade; Alike the symbol and the tool Of foreign masters' hated rule. 2 But grace within his heart 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 wast 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 servant's foremost line. Come, Saviour, 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. Who keep 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.
