The Master soon now comes As we in joyful prayer prepare That minds and hearts are set And all is arranged with care
We have done what is asked But have we done all we could? To prepare for his coming Our roles, have we understood?
For to us he comes of love Not to serve our needs alone But that we too may serve him And for our many sins atone
We wait now and so prepare For the One who will soon come We long to recline at his holy meal And rest forever with the One
So we prepare and so too pray That our faith may always grow Asking: is what we do enough To live the love that he has shown
We strive to have great faith For it is not he but we who need Trusting that even little faith is enough For all our hearts, his love will feed
It is in serving him we live his love And bring it to all we meet So we prepare for his coming To humbly sit at his feet
Dear Jesus Increase my little faith As I prepare my life for you Help me do beyond what I must In all I say and do And know that as I nurture my little faith I will grow ever closer to you
