Servant of God, Well Done! (Montgomery)

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 195 hymnals First Line: Servant of God, well done Lyrics: 1. Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy master’s joy. The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame: He fell, but felt no fear. 2. Tranquil amid alarms, It found him on the field, A veteran, slumbering on his arms, Beneath his red cross shield. His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. 3. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Used With Tune: NEARER HOME Text Sources: Greenland and Other Poems, 1819

In Every Time and Place

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In every time and place Who serve the Lord most high, Are called His sovereign will to embrace, And still their own deny; To follow His command, On earth as pilgrims rove, And seek an undiscovered land, And house, and friends above. 2. Father, the narrow path To that far country show; And in the steps of Abraham’s faith Enable me to go, A cheerful sojourner Where’er Thou bidd’st me roam, Till, guided by Thy Spirit here, I reach my heavenly home.
