English Lyrics
Verse 1
Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast they dreams of ease away; Thou art in the midst of foes; Watch and pray!
Verse 2
Gird thy heavenly armor, Wear it ever, night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one; Watch and pray!
Verse 3
Hear the victors who o'er came; Still they mark each warrior's way; All with one sweet voice exclaim: 'Watch and pray!'
Verse 4
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; Hide within thy heart His word: 'Watch and pray!'
Verse 5
Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day; Pray that help may be sent down, Watch and pray!
