Jesus, help me watch and pray,
On Thy­self re­ly­ing;
May I walk in wis­dom’s way,
With Thy will com­ply­ing.

Refrain

Watching, pray­ing, day by day,
Watching lest I go as­tray;
Trusting Thee in time of need,
Watching, pray­ing ev­er.

Tempest tossed and sore dis­tressed,
Still to Thee I’m cling­ing;
Naught on earth can give me rest,
Only sor­row bring­ing.

Refrain

Brighter scenes in Heav’n await
For my rap­tured vi­sion;
Soon I’ll pass the pear­ly gate,
To the fields ely­si­an.
