Text: Charlotte Elliott | Tune: VIGILATE

Christian, seek not yet repose,
Cast thy dreams of ease away;
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 armor 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.
