| | Ecce nunc.
YOU that Jehova’s servants are, | |
| Whose carefull watch, whose watchfull care | |
| Within his house are spent; | |
| Say thus with one assent, | |
| Jehova’s name be praised! | 5 |
| Then let your handes be raised | |
| To holiest place, | |
| Where holiest grace | |
| Doth ay | |
| Remaine; | 10 |
| And say | |
| Againe, | |
| Jehova’s name be praised! | |
| Say last unto the company, | |
| Who tarrying make | 15 |
| Their leave to take, | |
| All blessings you accompany, | |
| From him in plenty showered, | |
| Whom Sion holds embowered, | |
| Who heav’n and earth of nought hath raised! | 20 | | | |
