Christian, seek not yet repose

			7.7.7.3.

1	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 thy 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.
