Servant of God well done rest from thy love employ. The battle is fought, the victory is won, enter thy master's joy. A voice at midnight came, he started up to hear. A mortal arrow pierced his frame; he fell but felt no fear.
Time is filled with swift transition, naught of earth unmoved can stand. Build your hopes on things eternal, hold to God's unchanging hand. Trust in him who will not leave you, whatsoever years may bring. If by earthly friends forsaken, still more closely to him cling. and so, on the hymn goes.
