Tune: | WATCH AND PRAY |
Composer: | W J Kirkpatrick |
1 Watch and pray that when the Master cometh,
If at morning, noon, or night,
He may find a lamp in ev'ry window,
Trimmed and burning, clear and bright.
Chorus:
Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth;
Watch and pray, 'twill not be long:
Soon he'll gather home his loved ones
To the happy vale of song.
2 Watch and pray; the tempter may be near us;
Keep the heart with jealous care,
Lest the door a moment left unguarded,
Evil thoughts may enter there. [Chorus]
3 Watch and pray, nor let us ever weary;
Jesus watched and prayed alone:
Prayed for us when only stars beheld him,
While on Olive's brow they shone. [Chorus]
4 Watch and pray, nor leave our post of duty,
Till we hear the Bridegroom's voice:
Then with him the marriage feast partaking,
We shall evermore rejoice. [Chorus]
