1. Christian, seek not yet repose; Hear thy guardian angel say, ’Thou art 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 armour 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.’
