Watch and Pray

1Watch and pray, when the Master cometh, If at morn, at noon, or night; Watch and pray; the tempter may be near us; Keep the heart with jealous care.

RefrainWatch and pray, the Lord commandeth; Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth; Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth; Watch and pray! 'Twill not be long; Soon he'll gather home his loved ones To the happy vale of song.

2Watch and pray, nor leave our post of duty, Till we hear the Bridegroom's voice; He may and lamp in every window, Trimmed and burning, clear and bright.

3Watch and pray, for we know not the midnight, His appointed par-ta-king, We shall ever see more da-lious.
