Watch, My Soul, And Pray

Author: J. O. Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #215 (1927) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics: 1 Watch, my soul, and pray; Cast all sloth away! Watch, the tempter's snares are nearest, Where the danger least thou fearest, Such is e'er his way: Watch, my soul, and pray! 2 Watch and pray, my soul, Flesh and blood control; When the world, with tempting story, Points to pleasure, wealth, and glory, Be not led astray: Watch, my soul, and pray! 3 See the goodly land On the heavenly strand; See God's people, thither tending, Thro' the sea and desert wending, Led by Joshua's hand: Seek the goodly land! 4 Through thy pilgrimage, Guard thy heritage; Pray and fight, on Christ relying, Live to Him, thyself denying; Onward to the goal: Win the crown, my soul! 5 Watch and fight and pray, Through this mortal day; Soon thy Canaan thou attainest, Soon thy crown and palm thou gainest; Peace is won for aye: Watch, my soul, and pray!
