1. Ye servants of the Lord, Each in his office will 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. O happy servant be, 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.
