16393. At Your Post Be Found

1 At your post be found, ne’er a trai­tor be,
To the bless­èd Lord who hath made you free;
Tho’ temp­ta­tions come, thrust them all aside,
In His good­ness trust what­so­e’er be­tide.

Refrain:
At your post be found as the days go by;
For the need­ed strength on His grace re­ly;
At your post be found when the Lord shall come,
And with Him you’ll share end­less joys at home.

2 At your post be found, not a du­ty shirk,
In the Mas­ter’s name you to­day should work;
It will not be long ere death’s sha­dows fall,
O’er the rich and poor, o’er the great and small. [Refrain]

3 At your post be found, with His flag un­furled,
When you’re sum­moned home from this tran­si­ent world;
And re­ward you’ll gain when with hosts you stand
’Round the judg­ment throne in the heav’n­ly land. [Refrain]
