Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #471 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.8 Lyrics: 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 pow'rs,
Must'ring their unseen array,
Wait for thine unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
3 Gird thy heav'nly 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 one sweet 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."
6 Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Conflict with Sin; Patience of Christians; Perseverance; Prayer; Satan; Watchfulness Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Languages: English Tune Title: VIGILATE
