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.

2Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in His sight,
For awesome is His name.

3Watch, 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak He's near;
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.
