Tribute
Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy master’s joy. The voice at midnight came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame; He fell, but felt no fear. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run Rest in thy Savior’s joy.
