joyful on my way, To drink thy bitter cup, I go. 277. S. M. DODDRIDGE. WATCHFULNESS. i YE servants of the Lord ! Each in your office wait, Observant of his heavenly word, And watchful at his gate. WATCHFULNESS. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame : Gird up your loins, as in his sight ; For holy is his name. 3 Watch ! 't is your Lord's command And while we speak, he 's near : Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. 4 O happy servant he In such a posture fou...nd ! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned. 278. P. M. WHITTIER. " I SAY UNTO "YOU, WATCH ! " 1 SHALL we grow weary in our watch, And murmur at the long delay, Impatient of our Father's time And his appointed way ? 2 O, oft a deeper test of faith Than prison-cell, or martyr's stake, The self-renouncing watchfulness Of silent prayer may make. 3 We gird us bravely to rebuke Our erring brother in the wrong ; And in the ear of pride and power Our warning voice is strong. 4 Easier to smite with Peter's sword Than watch one hour in humbling prayer ; Life's great things, like the Syrian lord, Our hearts can do and dare : THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
