Reading this post this hymn just came to my mind:
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 armor 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.” |
