Watch and pray! when Sa­tan tempts thee,
When as­sailed by foes un­seen;
Christ is ev­er near to shield thee;
In thy con­flict look to Him.

Refrain

Watch and pray, the time is pass­ing,
Sin and strife will soon be o’er;
Watch and pray, all glo­ry’s dawn­ing—
Then we’ll praise for­ev­er­more.

Watch! for Sa­tan’s hosts sur­round thee,
Gird thine ar­mor on each day;
They are wait­ing to en­snare thee;
In thy con­flict look to Him.

Refrain

Pray! for thou art weak and help­less,
Poor and wretch­ed and un­done;
None can face the pow­ers of dark­ness,
Save in strength of Christ alone.

Refrain
