\nObservant of His heavenly Word,
\nAnd watchful at His gate.<\/p>\n

\nGird up your loins as in His sight,
\nHis coming thus proclaim.<\/p>\n

\nAnd while we speak He\u2019s near;
\nMark the first signal of His hand,
\nAnd ready all appear.<\/p>\n

\nIn such a posture found!
\nHe shall His Lord with rapture see,
\nAnd be with honor crowned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
