"Again, I say--Watch!"
1Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins, as in his sight,
For awful is his name.
3Watch,--'tis your Lord's command;
And while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4O, happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see
And be with honor crowned.
