����Philip Doddridge, alM, (1702-1751).

YE servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait, Observant of his heavenly word, And watchful at 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 your Lord's command, And while we speak he 's near ; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear.

happy servant he In such a posture found ! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honour crowned.

Christ shall the banquet spread With his own royal hand ; And raise that faithful servant's head Amidst the angelic band. 270
