Hymn 519: Servant of God, well done

Ranse Olorun, seun

  1. Servant of God, well done
    From all your labours, rest;
    Thou has fought and Thou has triumphed
    Enter Thy Master's joy,`
    The call came in the night,
    He raised himself to hear,
    The arrow of death entered in,
    He fell, but did not fear.

  2. The midnight cry went forth,
    `Arise to meet Thy God`
    He woke, and saw his commander,
    Through prayer and in faith
    His soul rose up at once,
    Left this body of clay;
    When morn broke, this body of clay
    Was found lying down dead.

  3. The pangs of death is past,
    Cares and distress are o'er,
    The days of fighting are all gone,
    His heart has found real peace;
    Soldiers of Christ, `well done`
    Keep singing songs of joy;
    Take thy rest in Thy Saviour's breast,
    And rest eternally. Amen.
