Author: Helen Marion Burnside Hymnal: Light in the Valley #140 (1898) First Line: Callest Thou thus, oh Master? Lyrics: 1 Callest Thou thus, oh Master? Callest Thou thus to me? Weary and heavy laden, Longing to come to Thee, Out in the lonely darkness Thy dear voice sounds so sweet, I am not worthy Master, oh no, Not worthy to kiss Thy feet. 2 Comest Thou thus, oh Master? Comest Thou thus to me? Untrimm'd, my lamp, and dying, And house not meet for Thee, Thou art so great and holy, I am by sin undone, I am not worthy Master, oh no, Not worthy that Thou should'st come. 3 "Child," said the gracious Master, With voice divinely sweet, I only ask a welcome; Rest, for my weary feet! Come o'er my lowly threshold, Dark, and defiled by sin, Tho' all unworthy Master, oh come, I pray Thee, come, enter in.

Helen M. Burnside

b. 1844 Person Name: Helen Marion Burnside Author of "Callest Thou?" in Light in the Valley Miss Helen Marion Burnside It was really a terrible affliction which led this gifted lady to become a poetess. "During my girlhood days," she once said to the writer, "my greatest desire was to become a musician, but at thirteen years of age a terrible calamity befell me. I became totally deaf as the result of an attack of scarlet fever, and never regained my hearing. Then it was I took to verse writing as another way of making music, for it was the desire to write words for music which, in the first instance, induced me to try the art of rhyming." At the same time, Miss Burnside disclaims the title of poetess. "1 have never called myself anything more ambitious than a verse writer," she says. Miss Burnside is an old lady now - she was born in 1844 - with a face as sweet and a voice as gentle as the messages she sends round the world. She lived for many years at Putney, reading, gardening, and walking in her leisure hours. A prolific worker, Miss Burnside has written four hundred verses a year for the last twenty years, and sometimes as many as eight or ten different poems in one day. from "Every Woman's Encyclopaedia".
