WATCH AND PRAY.

CHRISTIAN, seek not yet repose; Cast thy dreams of ease away; Thou art in the midst of foes— Therefore watch and pray.
Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; Near thee lurks the evil one— Therefore watch and pray.
Listen to thy sorrowing Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; It is He who speaks the word— Therefore watch and pray.
'Twas by watching and by prayer Holy men of olden day Won the palms and crowns they'll wear— Therefore watch and pray.
Watch, for thou thy guard must keep; Pray, for God must speed thy way; Narrow is the road, and steep— Therefore watch and pray. —Selected.
