Full Lyrics
CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSEVERSE 1
Christian, seek not yet repose;
Cast thy dreams of ease away,
Thou art in the midst of foes:
"Watch and pray."
CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSEVERSE 2
Principalities and powers,
Must'ring their unseen array,
Wait for thine unguarded hours:
"Watch and pray."
CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSEVERSE 3
Gird thy heavenly armour on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the Evil One:
"Watch and pray."
CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSEVERSE 4
Hear the victors who o'ercame;
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
"Watch and pray."
CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSEVERSE 5
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word,
"Watch and pray."
CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSEVERSE 6
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray that help may be sent down:
"Watch and pray."
HEAR THE CALL!VERSE 1
Lo! the day of God is breaking;
See the gleaming from afar!
Sons of earth, from slumber waking,
Hail the Bright and Morning Star!
HEAR THE CALL!VERSE 2
Trust in Him who is your Captain,
Let no heart in terror quail;
Jesus leads the gath'ring legions,
In His name we shall prevail.
HEAR THE CALL!VERSE 3
Onward marching, firm and steady,
Faint not, fear not Satan's frown;
For the Lord is with you alway,
Till you wear the victor's crown.
HEAR THE CALL!VERSE 4
Conqu'ring hosts with banners waving,
Sweeping on o'er hill and plain,
Ne'er shall halt till swells the anthem,
"Christ o'er all the world doth reign!"
HEAR THE CALL!CHORUS
Hear the call! Oh, gird your armour on,
Grasp the Spirit's mighty Sword,
Take the Helmet of Salvation,
Pressing on to battle for the Lord!
