Watch and Pray

1Watch, the time is short; Watch while 'tis day; Watch, for the night Watch, for the flesh is weak; Chase slumber from thine eyes, Chase doubting from thy breast; Take up thy cross for thy Master's sake, the Lord is near; Gird well the armor.

RefrainO watch and pray, O watch and pray, O watch and pray, O watch and pray; O watch and pray! O watch in the darkness, and watch in the day; Christian, watch and pray.

2Watch, for the foe is near; Watch, lest the Bridegroom come; Watch, though he tarry long. Our Saviour warns us well to watch; there poured Great-heart-ed, O watch and pray; Make thou no more delay, In this adopted time Watch thou, and pray.
