Hymn 687: Christian, seek not yet repose

" Christian, seek not yet repose ; Cast thy dreams of ease away, Thou art in the midst of foes : " Watch and pray."

2. Principalities and powers, Mustering their unseen array, Wait for thine unguarded hours : " Watch and pray.”

3. Gird thy heavenly armour 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 one 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."
