1. Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast they dreams of ease away; Thou art in the midst of foes; Watch and pray! 2. Gird thy heavenly armor, Wear it ever, night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one; Watch and pray! 3. Hear the victors who o'er came; Still they mark each warrior's way; All with one sweet voice exclaim: 'Watch and pray!' 4. 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!
