Lyics

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


Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame,
Gird up your loins as in his sight;
For awful is his name.


Watch!  Tis the Lord's command;
And, while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.


O happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crown'd.
