O ye Servants of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Ye faithful Servants of the Lord,
Be works of love your harp of praise;
Let arduous toils of loyal days
The music which He asks, afford;
Let every hour its fitting chord
Of action high conspire to raise:
Ye faithful Servants of the Lord,
Be works of love your harp of praise.
Be works of love your harp of praise;
Let arduous toils of loyal days
The music which He asks, afford;
Let every hour its fitting chord
Of action high conspire to raise:
Ye faithful Servants of the Lord,
Be works of love your harp of praise.
Let Him with duty be adored,
Who toiled along earth's painful ways—
With labours not with empty lays,
Who His sweet Life for us outpoured:
Ye faithful Servants of the Lord,
Be works of love your harp of praise.
Who toiled along earth's painful ways—
With labours not with empty lays,
Who His sweet Life for us outpoured:
Ye faithful Servants of the Lord,
Be works of love your harp of praise.
