With bridal care and faith's bold prayer, to meet the Bridegroom, come, prepare!" 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and in her heart new joy is springing. She wakes, she rises from her gloom. For her Lord comes down all-glorious and strong in grace, in truth victorious. Her star is risen, her light is come! Now come, O Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son. Sing hosanna! We answer all in joy your call; we follow to the wedding hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you, the saints and angels sing before you with harp and cymbals' clearest tone. Of one pearl each shining portal, where, joining with the choir immortal, we gather round your radiant throne. No eye has seen that light, no ear the echoed might of your glory; yet there shall we in victory sing shouts of joy eternally!

Servant of God, Well Done

Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy master’s joy." 2 The voice at midnight came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame; He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. 4 Bent on such glorious toils, The world to him was loss, Yet all his trophies, all his spoils, He hung upon the cross. 5 At midnight came the cry, "To meet thy God prepare!" He woke and caught his Captain's eye, Then strong in faith and prayer. 6 His spirit with a bound, Left its encumbering clay; His tent at sunrise on the ground, A darkened ruin lay. 7 The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 8 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; Ministry Used With Tune: DOVER
