Ye servants of the Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 454 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:35-38 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,
for aweful 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 O happy servant he
in such a posture found!
he shall his Lord with rapture see,
and be with honour crowned.
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
with his own royal hand,
and raise that faithful servant's head
amid the angelic band. Topics: Advent; Church Year Advent; Future hope; Jesus coming again; Proper 14 Year C; Proper 18 Year A; The Third Sunday of Advent Year A Used With Tune: NARENZA
Ye servants of the Lord
Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7 with refrain Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32 Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page;
your people owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and share the great King's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their Gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, life restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
by mortals and by angels
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Church Ministry; Church unity and ecumenism; Salvation and Redemption; Witness Used With Tune: THORNBURY
