Christian, seek not yet repose,
Cast
they dreams of ease away;
Thou
art in the midst of foes;
Watch
and pray!
2
Gird
thy heavenly armor,
Wear
it ever, night and day;
Ambushed
lies the evil one;
Watch
and pray!
3
Hear
the victors who o’er came;
Still
they mark each warrior’s way;
All
with one sweet voice exclaim:
“Watch
and pray!”
4
Hear,
above all, hear thy Lord,
Him
thou lovest to obey;
Hide
within thy heart His word:
“Watch
and pray!”
5
Watch,
as if on that alone
Hung
the issue of the day;
Pray
that help may be sent down,
Watch
and pray!
