Watch and pray

Author: Charlotte Eliott Hymnal: LD1888 #348 (1888) Tune Title: ALERT First Line: Christian, seek not yet repose 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 power, Mustering their unseen array, Wait for their unguarded hours: Watch and pray. 3 Gird thy heavenly armor 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 warning 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. 5 Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day; Pray that help may be sent down; Watch and pray.
