Christian, Seek Not Repose
(VIGILATE (MONK). 7.7.7.3)
1.
Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast thy dreams of ease away;
Thou art in the midst of foes; Watch and pray!
2.
Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one; Watch and pray!
3.
Hear the victors who o’ercame; Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim: “Watch and pray!”
4.
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord, Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word; “Watch and pray!”
5.
Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day;
Pray that help may be sent down; Watch and pray!
