Ye Servants of the Lord

Verse 1

Ye servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait; Observant of His heavenly word, And watchful at his gate.

Verse 2

Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins as in His sight; His coming thus proclaim.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

O happy servant, he, In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned.
