Oh, tender and sweet was the Master's voice As He lovingly called to me : " Come over the line ! it is only a Step---- I am waiting, My child, for thee ! "
" Over the line ! " Hear the sweet refrain ! Angels are chanting the heavenly strain ! " Over the line " -----why should I remain, With a step between me and Jesus ?
2. " But my sins are many, my faith is small : " Lo ! the answer came quick and clear : " Thou needest not trust in thyself at all; Step over the line : I am here ! "
3. " But my flesh is weak," I tearfully " And the way I cannot see ; [said, I fear if I try I may sadly fail, And thus may dishonour Thee ! "
4. Ah, the world is cold, and I cannot go back ; Press forward I surely must : I will place my hand in His wounded palm, Step over the line, and trust,
" Over the line ! " Hear the sweet refrain ! Angels are chanting the heavenly strain ! " Over the line " I will not remain ; I'll cross it and go to Jesus !
