Our Saviour's words are Watch and Pray:

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #162 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Watch and Pray Lyrics: Our Saviour's words are "Watch and Pray:" Lord, make us willing to obey; Lord, make us able to fulfil Thy counsel--give both power and will. The wisdom from above impart, To keep our hand, and tongue, and heart, In thought, word, deed,--that so we may Pray whilst we watch, watch while we pray. Lest while we watch, and fear no snare, We fall into neglect of prayer; 166 Or, while we pray, and watch not, sin Creep like a subtil serpent in. When by an evil world beset, Allurements smile, or terrors threat, Well way we watch our Master's eye, And pray for faith to fight or fly. Our strength be His Omnipotence, His truth our sole and sure defence, His grace will aid the feeble saint To watch and pray, and never faint. For He who hath commanded thus, Oft watch'd and pray'd on earth for us; And still with interceding love, Watches and prays for us above. Scripture: Mark 14:38 Languages: English

Pray'r was appointed to convey

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #483 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Pray without Ceasing Lyrics: 1 Pray'r was appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live should christians pray, For only while they pray, they live. 2 The christian's heart his pray'r indites, He speaks as prompted from within; The Spirit his petition writes, And Christ receives, and gives it in. 4 And shall we in dead silence lie, When Christ stands waiting for our pray'r? My soul, thou hast a friend on high; Arise, and try thy interest there. 5 If pains afflict, or wrongs oppress-- If cares distract, or fears dismay-- If guilt deject--if sin distress, Thy remedy's before thee!--pray. 6 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak, Tho' thought be broken--anguage lame; Pray, if thou canst, or canst not speak, But pray with faith in Jesus' name. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Go, watch and pray: thou canst not tell

Author: Hastings Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #694 (1873) Topics: Watch and Pray Lyrics: 1 Go, watch and pray: thou canst not tell How near thine hour may be; Thou canst not know how soon the bell May toll its notes for thee: Death's countless snares beset thy way; Frail child of dust! go, watch and pray. 2 Fond youth, while free from blighting care, Does thy firm pulse beat high? Do hope's glad visions, bright and fair, Dilate before thine eye? Soon these must change--must pass away; Frail child of dust! go, watch and pray. 2 Thou aged man! life's wintry storm Hath seared thy vernal bloom; With trembling limbs and wasting form, Thou 'rt bending o'er the tomb; And can vain hope lead thee astray? Go, weary pilgrim! watch and pray. 4 Ambition, stop thy panting breath! Pride, sink thy lifted eye! Behold the caverns, dark with death, Before you open lie; The heavenly warning now obey; Ye sons of pride, go, watch and pray.

Branded like Cain, they bear the load, Abhor'd of men, and curs'd of God. 3 But hast thou finally forsook, For ever cast thy own away? Wilt thou not bid the murderers look On him they pierc'd, and weep and pray? Yes gracious Lord, thy word is past: "All Israel shall be sav'd at last." 4 Come then, thou great deliverer come! The Veil from Jacob's heart remove, Receive thy ancient people home; That quicken'd by thy dying love, The world may their reception view And shout to God, the glory due.
