1
Watch for the time is short; Watch while the trial to-day; Watch lest ye stand pre-test; Watch Christian, watch and pray;
Christ himself has the word, That comings not in haste; That if He is not prepared, For Christ's return, The harvest now is past;
2
Take Je-sus for thy trust; Watch while the foe is near; Gird with the ar-mor on; Watch till thy Lord appear.
Watch, for the flesh is weak; Watch, for the foe is strong; Watch lest the bride-groom-cry; Watch, for it tar-ry long;
Watch thou-man, watch and pray; 'Tis not me-it-ed for thee 'Till from this low-ly ground God slopes of glo-ry be;
Now when thy sun is up; Make thou no more de-lay; In His a-cept-ed time, Watch, Chris-tian, watch and pray.
C
Chorus
O watch and pray, O watch and pray; O watch in fast-ing, and watch in the day; Chris-tian, watch and pray;
O watch and pray, O watch and pray, O watch and pray, O watch and pray.
