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.
