1. Christian, seek not yet repose,
  Hear thy gracious Savior say;
  Thou are in the midst of foes:
  Watch and pray.
2. Principalities and powers,
  Mustering their unseen array,
  Wait for thy unguarded hours:
  Watch and pray.
3. Gird thy heavenly 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 on 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.
