Author: Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #597 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 12:35-37 First Line: Ye servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait Lyrics: 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,
His coming thus proclaim.
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 O happy servant, he,
In such a posture found!
He shall His Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned. Topics: Christan Life Watchfulness Tune Title: GARELOCHSIDE
