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