Christian, seek not yet repose,

| 1. | 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 on 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. |
