Christian, Seek Not yet Repose
"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." - 1 Pet 4:7
VERSE 1
Christian, seek not yet repose;
Hear thy guardian angel say,
"Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray!"
VERSE 2
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours:
"Watch and pray."
VERSE 3
Gird thy heavenly armour on;
Wear it every night and day
Ambush'd lies the evil one:
"Watch and pray."
VERSE 4
Hear the victors who o'ercame;
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
"Watch and pray!"
VERSE 5
Hear, above all, hear they Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within my heart His word
"Watch and pray!"
VERSE 6
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
