Full Lyrics
Christian, seek not yet repose;
Hear thy guardian angel say,
'Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.'
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
Gird thy heavenly armour on;
Wear it ever, night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.
Hear the victors who o'ercame;
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice proclaim,
'Watch and pray.'
Hear, above all, hear the Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word,
'Watch and pray.'
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day:
Pray that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
