- 1Ye servants of the Lord,
- Each in your office, wait,
- Observant of His heav'nly 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 awful 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 honour crown'd.
