Author: Charlotte Elliott (Mrs. Tonna), 1789-1871 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian! seek not yet repose,
Cast thy dreams of ease away;
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."
6 Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
"Watch and pray."
