Ye Servants of the Lord

1Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait;
Observant of His heavenly word,
And watchful at His gate;
Observant of His heavenly word,
And watchful at His gate;

2Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in His sight;
His coming thus proclaim.
Gird up your loins as in His sight;
His coming thus proclaim.

3Watch, 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak,
He's near;
Mark the first signal of His hand,
And ready all appear.
Mark the first signal of His hand,
And ready all appear.

4O, happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.
