Rise, My Soul, To Watch And Pray
Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #243 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray,
From Thy sleep awaken;
Be not by the evil day
Unawares o'ertaken;
Lest the foe
Bring thee low
In his base endeavor,
Be thou watchful ever.
2 Wield the Spirit's trusty sword,
Bid the foe defiance;
In the armor of the Lord
Place thy firm reliance.
Human strength
Fails at length,
And will naught avail thee
When hell's hosts assail thee.
3 Jesus, Who Thy blood hast shed
For my soul's salvation,
Who hast crushed the serpent's head,
Stay me in temptation;
Calm my fears,
Dry my tears,
Be my shield and tower
In the evil hour.
4 Thou Who art the Prince of Life
And from death hast freed me,
Help me conquer in the strife;
As my Captain lead me,
Till at last I have passed
Thro' the golden portal
Unto life immortal.

Author: Freystein Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #125 (1863) Hymnal Title: Chorale Book for England, The Lyrics:
Rise, my soul, to watch and pray,
From thy sleep awake thee,
Lest at last the evil day
Suddenly o'ertake thee;
For the foe,
Well we know,
Oft his harvest reapeth
While the Christian sleepeth.
Wake and watch, or else thy night
Christ can ne'er enlighten;
For off still will seem the light
That thy path should brighten;
God demands
Willing hands,
Hearts His love confessing,--
Such He fills with blessing.
Watch against the world that frowns
Darkly to dismay thee;
Watch, when she thy wishes crowns,
Smiling to betray thee;
Watch and see
Thou art free
From false friends that charm thee,
While they seek to harm thee.
Watch against thyself, my soul,
See thou do not stifle
Grace that should thy thoughts control,
Nor with mercy trifle
Pride and sin
Lurk within,
All thy hopes to scatter;
List not, when they flatter.
But while watching, also see
That thou pray unceasing,
For the Lord must make thee free,
Strength and faith increasing,
So to do
Service true;
Let not sloth enslave thee,
Pray, and He will save thee.
Courage then, for He will give
All that we are needing,
Through the Son, in whom we live,
Who for us is pleading.
Day by day
Watch and pray,
While the tempests lower,
Till He comes with power.

Ever to be near us.
Ere we plead, will He heed,
Strengthen, keep, defend us,
And deliv'rance send us. Topics: Blessedness of Believers; God the Father Hears Prayers; Prayer Encouragements to ; Temptations ; Watchfulness Languages: English Tune Title: MERCY

While the saints are sleeping.

With its lies defeat you
Lest with bold deceptions hurled
It betray and cheat you.

Faithless friends to charm you
Who but seek to harm you.

Lest with grace you trifle;
Let not self your thoughts control
Nor God's mercy stifle.

To the Lord unceasing.

From thy sleep awake thee,
Lest at last the evil day
Suddenly o'ertake thee;
For the Foe, Well we know,
Oft his harvest reapeth,
While the Christian sleepeth.
2 But first rouse thee, and awake
From secure indiff'rence;
Else will follow in its wake
Woe without deliv'rance.
O beware! Soul, take care!
Death in sins might find thee,
Ere thou look behind thee.
3 Wake and watch, or else thy night
Christ can ne'er enlighten;
Far off still will seem the light
That thy path should brighten;
God demands Eyes and hands
Open for the offers
He so richly proffers.
4 Watch against the Devil's snares,
Lest asleep he find thee;
For, indeed, no pains he spares
To deceive and blind thee;
Satan's prey Oft are they,
Who are soundly sleeping,
And no good watch keeping.
5 Watch against the world that frowns
Darkly to dismay thee;
Watch, when she thy wishes crowns,
Smiling to betray thee;
Watch and see Thou art free
From false friends that charm thee,
While they seek to harm thee.
6 Watch against thyself, my soul,
See thou do not stifle
Grace that should thy thoughts control,
Nor with mercy trifle;
Pride and sin Lurk within,
All thy hopes to scatter;
List not, when they flatter.

Let not sloth enslave thee;
Pray, and He will save thee.

Promising to hear us,
E'er to be our Staff and Stay,
Ever to be near us.
Ere we plead Will He heed,
Strengthen, keep, defend us,
And deliv'rance send us.
9 Courage then, for all things must
Work for good, and bless us,
If we but in prayerful trust
To His Son address us;
For He will Richly fill,
And His Spirit send us,
Who to Him commend us.
10 Therefore let us watch and pray
Ever without ceasing,
For we know, with every day
Dangers are increasing;
And the end Doth impend,
When the trumpet calleth,
Earth in ruins falleth. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness Languages: English
