Are Ye Able, Said The Master
(written by Earl Marlatt)


Verse:
“Are ye able,” said the Master,
“to be crucified with Me?”
“Yea,” the sturdy dreamers answered,
“to the death we follow Thee.”

Chorus:
Lord, we are able, our spirits are Thine,
remold them, make us, like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
a beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

Verse 2:
Are ye able to remember,
when a thief lifts up his eyes,
that his pardoned soul is worthy,
of a place in paradise?

Chorus

Verse 3:
Are ye able when the shadows
close around you with the sod,
to believe that spirit triumphs,
to commend your soul to God?

Chorus

Verse 4:
"Are ye able," still the Master
whispers down eternity,
and heroic spirits answer,
"now as then in Galilee".

Chorus
