1 Christian, seek not yet repose,
Cast thy dreams of ease away;
Thou art in the midst of foes;
Therefore watch and pray.
2 Gird thy heav'nly armor on,
Wear it ever, night and day;
Near thee lurks the evil one;
Therefore watch and pray.
3 Listen to the sorr'wing Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
It is He who speaks the Word;
Therefore watch and pray.
4 'Twas in watching and in prayer
Holy men of olden day
Won the palms and crowns they wear;
Therefore watch and pray.
5 Watch, for thou thy guard must keep;
Pray, for God must speed thy way;
Narrow is the road and steep;
Therefore watch and pray.
