Watch and Pray

By T. S. WILLIAMS

T. S. WILLIAMS
Ye poor, despised, rejected band Who watch, and sing, and pray, Sojourners in a foreign land, Who wait the blessed day, Watch on, pray on, and wait; Ye soon shall enter heaven’s gate.
Watch, wait, and see the blessed day When tears shall all be dried, When sin and sorrow pass away Through Christ once crucified; Watch on, pray on, and wait; Ye soon shall enter heaven’s gate.
Though fiery trials oft beset Along the narrow way, Though troubles rise thy soul to fret, O watch, and sing, and pray; Watch on, pray on, and wait; Ye soon shall enter heaven’s gate.
The resurrection trump shall sound, The dead in Christ shall rise, And all who shall be worthy found Shall meet him in the skies. O then we shall no longer wait, We then shall enter heaven’s gate!
