Christian, seek not yet repose, Hear thy gracious Savior say; Thou are in the midst of foes: Watch and pray. |
| 2 |
Principalities and powers, Mustering their unseen array, Wait for thy unguarded hours: Watch and pray. |
| 3 |
Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one: Watch and pray. |
| 4 |
Hear the victors who o'ercame, Still they mark each warrior's way; All with one sweet voice exclaim, Watch and pray. |
| 5 |
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; Hide within thy heart His word: Watch and pray. |
| 6 |
Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day; Pray, that help may be sent down: Watch and pray. |
