The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#569

569. Servant of God, Well Done!

1 "Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the vict'ry 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.
