811. Servant of God, Well Done

1 Servant of God, well done!
Rest from your loved employ:
the battle fought, the victory won,
enter your Master's joy.

2 The pains of death are past;
labor and sorrow cease;
and life's long warfare closed at last,
your soul is found in peace.

3 Rest from your labor, rest,
soul of the just, set free;
blessed by your memory,
and blessed your bright example be.

4 Now, toil and conflict o'er,
go, take with saints your place;
but go as each has gone before,
a sinner saved by grace.

5 Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be your new employ,
and, while eternal ages run,
rest in your Savior's joy.
