Christian, seek not yet repose

Christian

seek not yet repose

Hear thy gracious Savior say;

Thou art in the midst of foes:

Watch and pray.

Principalities and powers

Mustering their unseen array

Wait for thy unguarded hours:

Watch and pray.

Gird thy heavenly armor on

Wear it ever night and day;

Ambushed lies the evil one:

Watch and pray.

Hear the victors who o’ercame

Still they mark each warrior’s way;

All with one sweet voice exclaim

Watch and pray.

Hear

above all

hear thy Lord

Him thou lovest to obey;

Hide within thy heart His word:

Watch and pray.

Watch

as if on that alone

Hung the issue of the day;

Pray

that help may be sent down:

Watch and pray.
