Servant of God, Well Done
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 198 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."
2 The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
He fell, but felt no fear.
3 His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent fight,
Ready that moment, at command,
Through rock and steel to smite.
4 Bent on such glorious toils,
The world to him was loss,
Yet all his trophies, all his spoils,
He hung upon the cross.
5 At midnight came the cry,
"To meet thy God prepare!"
He woke and caught his Captain's eye,
Then strong in faith and prayer.
6 His spirit with a bound,
Left its encumbering clay;
His tent at sunrise on the ground,
A darkened ruin lay.
7 The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life’s long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
8 Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run
Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; Ministry Scripture: Matthew 25:34 Used With Tune: DOVER

On the deep, blue sea.

Watching late in pain;

From their sins restrain.

Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
