Composer: | W. H. Monk |
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!
