Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.687

First Line: 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.
