CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSE
1. 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 the 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.
