603 ~ Christian, Seek Not Repose


1

Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast thy dreams of ease away; Thou art in the midst of foes; Watch and pray!

2

Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one; Watch and pray!

3

Hear the victors who o'ercame; 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!
