Christian, seek not yet repose (Hymn 765)

Verse 1: Christian, seek not yet repose, Hear thy gracious Savior say; Thou art in the midst of foes: Watch and pray. Verse 2: Principalities and powers, Mustering their unseen array, Wait for thy unguarded hours: Watch and pray. Verse 3: Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one: Watch and pray. Verse 4: Hear the victors who o'ercame, Still they mark each warrior's way; All with one sweet voice exclaim, Watch and pray. Verse 5: Hear, above all, hear thy Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; Hide within thy heart His word: Watch and pray. Verse 6: Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day; Pray, that help may be sent down: Watch and pray.
