603- Christian, Seek Not Repose

Christian Life: Watchfulness

1

  • Christian, seek not yet repose,
  • Cast thy dreams of ease away;
  • 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!
