CHRISTIAN! SEEK NOT YET REPOSE

1.  Christian! seek not yet repose,
Hear thy guardian angel say;
Thou art in the midst of foes;
“Watch and pray!” O “Watch and pray!”

2.  Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours;
“Watch and pray!” O “Watch and pray!”

3.  Gird thy heavenly armour on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one;
“Watch and pray!” O “Watch and pray!”

4.  Hear the victors who o’ercame;
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one clear voice exclaim,
“Watch and pray!” O “Watch and pray!”

5.  Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His Word,
“Watch and pray!” O “Watch and pray!”
