Text Based On Mark Chapter 13
Take ye heed, watch and pray:
for ye know not when the time is.
Christian! Seek Not Yet Repose
Christian! seek not yet repose,
Hear thy guardian angel say;
Thou art in the midst of foes;
"Watch and pray."
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours;
"Watch and pray."
Gird thy heavenly armour on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one;
"Watch and pray."
Hear the victors who o'ercame;
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one clear voice exclaim,
"Watch and pray."
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His Word,
"Watch and pray."
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray that help may be sent down;
"Watch and pray."
