  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 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 clear 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.” Amen.
