The Master Has Come Over Jordan

Author: Julia Gill Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: "The Master has come over Jordan" Lyrics: 1 "The Master has come over Jordan," Said Hannah, the mother, one day, "He is healing the people who throng Him, With a touch of His finger, they say; And now I shall carry the children— Little Rachel, and Samuel, and John, And dear little Esther, the baby, For the Master to look upon." 2 The father then looked at her kindly, And said, as he tenderly smiled, "Now who but a fond loving mother Would think of a project so wild? If the children were tortured by demons, Or dying with fever, ’twere well; Or had they taint of the leper, Like many around us who dwell." 3 "Nay, nay, do not hinder me, Nathan, I feel such a burden of care; And if to the Master I tell it, That burden He’ll help me to bear; If He but lays His hands on the children, My heart will be lighter, I know, For a blessing for ever and ever Will follow them each as they go." 4 So, over the mountains of Judah, Along with the vines all so green, With Esther asleep on her bosom, And Rachel her brothers between; With the people who hung on His teaching, Or waited His touch or His word; Through the row of proud Pharisees hastening, She pressed to the feet of the Lord. 5 "Now, why shouldst thou hinder the Master," Said Peter, "with children like these? Thou knowest from morn until evening He is teaching and healing disease." Said Jesus: "Forbid not the children, Permit them to come unto Me!" Then He took in His arms little Esther, And Rachel He sat on His knee. 6 The care-stricken heart of the mother Was lifted all sorrow above; His hands kindly laid on the children, He blest them with holiest love; And said of the babes on His bosom, "Of such are the kingdom of Heaven." Then the strength for all duty and trial, That hour to her spirit was given. Used With Tune: CAYMAN Text Sources: Golden Censer (New York: William R. Bradbury, 1864)

Itt A Mester A Jordánon Túlról

Author: Julia Gill; Anna Piroska Williams Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Itt a Mester a Jordánon túlról! Lyrics: 1 "Itt a Mester a Jordánon túlról!" Szólt Hanna nagy izgatottan, "Egyre gyógyítja, áldja a népet, Mind, ki Őhozzá közel van. Én is elviszem kisgyermekimet, Andrist, Mártuskát, Jánoskát, Karon hordom majd kicsike Sárát, Jézus áldását megkapják!" 2 Hanna férje, jó Énók ám így szólt: "Átgondoltad, hogy mit vállalsz? Tudom, szeretet indított erre, És hogy szívből jót akarsz. Hogyha betegség gyötörné őket, Láz, vagy másféle baj vagy veszély, Akkor feltétlen megértenélek, Hogy ily terhes, nagy útra kélj." 3 "Ne, ne, Énók, ne gátoljál, kérlek! A szívem, ó, oly gondterhelt! Tudom, Jézushoz ha odaérek, Ő majd elveszi terhemet! Keze áldón megnyugszik majd rajtuk. És ó, mily nagy lesz az az öröm! Aztán bármit is hozzon az élet, Velük lesz Jézus örökkön!" 3 Útnak indult hát négy gyermekével Az eltökélt édesanya, Andris mellette futott serényen, Mártus Jánoska kezét fogta. Az Úr Jézus valahol középen, Oly sok ember csüngött szaván. Sokan várták, hogy érintse őket, Hogy meggyógyulnak szava nyomán. 5 Péter rosszalló szóval kiáltott: "Ne jöjj ide gyerekekkel! Hisz a Mesternek oly sok a dolga, Tanítani, gyógyítani kell!" Ám de Jézus most Pétert feddé meg: "Engedd hozzám a gyermekeket!" Aztán karjára vette kis Sárát, Mártus ölében ülhetett! 6 És a szív, melyet oly sok gond terhelt, Most egyszerre megkönnyebbült, Jézus áldását hallva és látva Hanna arcára fény derült! "Ilyeneké az Isten országa!"— Így szólt Jézus a gyermekekről. Szíve legmélyén érezte Hanna, Erőt bőven kap ő is ebből! Used With Tune: CAYMAN
