Who calleth? -- Thy Father calleth, / Run, O Daughter, to wait on Him: / He Who chasteneth but for a season / Trims thy lamp that it burn not dim.

Who calleth? -- Thy Master calleth, / Sit, Disciple, and learn of Him: / He Who teacheth wisdom of Angels / Makes thee wise as the Cherubim,

Who calleth? -- Thy Monarch calleth, / Rise, O Subject, and follow Him: / He is stronger than Death or Devil, / Fear not thou if the foe be grim.

Who calleth? -- Thy Lord God calleth. / Fall, O Creature, adoring Him: / He is jealous, thy God Almighty, / Count not dear to thee life or limb.

Who calleth? -- Thy Bridegroom calleth, / Soar, O Bride, with the Seraphim: / He Who loves thee as no man loveth, / Bids thee give up thy heart to Him.
