Thou art in the midst of foes; Watch and pray!
2 Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one; Watch and pray!
3 Hear the victors who o’ercame; Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim: “Watch and pray!”
4 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! Topics: Christan Life Watchfulness Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Tune Title: VIGILATE (Monk)
Christian, Seek Not Repose
