1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait;
With joy obey his heavenly word,
And watch before 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 every 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.
