Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Laudes Domini #418 (1888) First Line: The Saviour bids thee watch and pray Lyrics: 1 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray
Through life's momentous hour;
And grants the Spirit's quickening ray
To those who seek his power.
2 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,
Maintain a warrior's strife;
O Christian! hear his voice to-day:
Obedience is thy life.
3 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray;
For soon the hour will come
That calls thee from the earth away
To thy eternal home.
4 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,
Oh, hearken to his voice,
And follow where he leads the way,
To heaven's eternal joys! Topics: Christians Graces; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Languages: English Tune Title: EVANGELIST
