Text: | Watch and Pray |
Author: | Mrs. Van Alstyne |
Tune: | [When the blush of morning light] |
Composer: | Theo. F. Seward |
1 When the blush of morning light
Paints the golden eastern skies
From the balmy sleep of night,
Lift to God thy waking eyes.
Refrain:
Traveler on thy heavenward way,
Jesus bids thee watch and pray;
Traveler on thy heavenward way,
Jesus bids thee watch and pray.
2 From the sultry noontide beams,
Would’st thou find a clam retreat?
Dost thou pant for cooling streams?
Rest thee at the mercy-seat. [Refrain]
3 When the evening shades descend,
Tranquil o’er the earth and sea,
Go, thy Saviour and thy Friend
Holds a precious gift for thee. [Refrain]
4 Watch with Jesus all the night,
Till the shadows glide away;
Watch till comes the morning light,
Weary pilgrim, watch and pray. [Refrain]
