Gathered Leaves of Sunday School Song ‎#154

154. While the sun is warm and bright

1 While the sun is warm and bright,
Watch and pray!
Soon will fall the gloom of night,
Watch and pray!
While the days of youth go by,
Let them not unheeded fly;
While our hopes are beating high,
Watch and pray! Watch and pray!

2 Soon the Saviour's voice shall call,
Watch and pray!
Heed the warning that may fall,
Watch and pray!
In the bud and bloom of life,
When the sweetest joys are rife
In the weary maze of strife,
Watch and pray! Watch and pray!

3 Lest ye heed the tempter's cry,
Watch and pray!
Though your troubled hearts may sigh,
Watch and pray!
Lo! the hour is close at hand,
We are near the heavenly land,
Heed our loving Lord's command,
Watch and pray! Watch and pray!
