Ye servants of the Lord
1
Ye servants of the Lord,Each in his office wait;Observant of his heavenly word,And watchful at his gate.
2
Let all your lamps be bright,And trim the golden flame;Gird up your loins as in his sight;His coming thus proclaim.
3
Watch, 'tis your Lord's command,And while we speak, he's near;Mark the first signal of his hand,And ready all appear.
4
O, happy servant he,In such a posture found!He shall his Lord with rapture see,And be with honor crowned.
