Ye Servants of the Lord!
}
Ye servants of the Lord!
Each in his office wait,
Observant of the heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.

Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight,
For awful is his name.

Watch, 't is your Lord's command;
And while we speak he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 Oh, happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.
