Watch and Pray (Whittle)

Watch and pray! when Sa­tan tempts thee

When as­sailed by foes un­seen;

Christ is ev­er near to shield thee;

In thy con­flict look to Him.

Watch and pray

the time is pass­ing

Sin and strife will soon be o’er;

Watch and pray

all glo­ry’s dawn­ing—

Then we’ll praise for­ev­er­more.

Watch! for Sa­tan’s hosts sur­round thee

Gird thine ar­mor on each day;

They are wait­ing to en­snare thee;

In thy con­flict look to Him.

Pray! for thou art weak and help­less

Poor and wretch­ed and un­done;

None can face the pow­ers of dark­ness

Save in strength of Christ alone.
