Watch and Pray

([WATCH AND PRAY, FOR THE LORD IS COMING])
Elbert L. Bailey; Will W. Slater
1.

Watch and pray, for the Lord is com­ing,
Coming for us all some day;
Wash your robes in the cleans­ing fount­ain;
Watch, O watch and pray.

Refrain:
Watch and pray, watch and pray;
For ye know not the hour
When the Lord shall come;
Watch and pray, watch and pray;
O watch and pray, yes, watch and pray;
Till, at set­ting sun, Je­sus calls us home.

2.

Heed the words that the Lord com­mand­ed
Just be­fore He went away;
Send His word un­to ev­ery nation;
Watch, O watch and pray.

Refrain:
Watch and pray, watch and pray;
For ye know not the hour
When the Lord shall come;
Watch and pray, watch and pray;
O watch and pray, yes, watch and pray;
Till, at set­ting sun, Je­sus calls us home.

3.

Be pre­pared here to meet the Sav­ior,
And His bless­èd word ob­ey;
Till your work here on earth is end­ed;
Watch, O watch and pray.

Refrain:
Watch and pray, watch and pray;
For ye know not the hour
When the Lord shall come;
Watch and pray, watch and pray;
O watch and pray, yes, watch and pray;
Till, at set­ting sun, Je­sus calls us home.
