Servant of God, Well Done! (Wesley)

lyricist: John Wesley, 1770
Composer: Garret Wellesley, 1760

Servant of God

well done!

Thy glo­ri­ous war­fare’s past;

The bat­tle’s fought

the race is won

And thou art crowned at last.

Of all thy heart’s de­sire

Triumphantly pos­sessed;

Lodged by the mi­nis­te­ri­al choir

In thy Re­deem­er’s breast.

In con­des­cend­ing love

Thy cease­less pray­er He heard;

And bade thee sud­den­ly re­move

To thy com­plete reward.

Ready to bring the peace

Thy beau­te­ous feet were shod

When mer­cy signed thy soul’s re­lease

And caught thee up to God.

With saints en­throned on high

Thou dost thy Lord pro­claim

And still to God sal­va­tion cry

Salvation to the Lamb!

O hap­py

hap­py soul!

In ec­sta­sies of praise

Long as eter­nal ag­es roll

Thou seest Thy Sav­ior’s face.

Redeemed from earth and pain

Ah! when shall we as­cend

And all in Je­sus’ pre­sence reign

With our trans­lat­ed friend?

Come

Lord

and quick­ly come!

And

when in Thee com­plete

Receive Thy long­ing serv­ants home

To tri­umph at Thy feet.
