Stay in the Field

O brother, you must watch and pray

Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 O Brother, you must watch and pray
Until the war is ended,
And live for Jesus every day
Until the war is ended.

Chorus:
I’ll stay in the field,
I’ll stay in the field,
I’ll stay in the field,
Until the war is ended.

2 I’m going on this holy way
Until the war is ended,
Shouting the victory every day
Until the war is ended. [Chorus]
