| Text: | Watchfulness |
1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait,
Observant of His heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins, as in His sight,
For awful is His name.
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.
4 Oh happy servant he
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.
