LyicsTHE Saviour bids thee watch and pray
Through life's momentous hour;
And grants the Spirit's quickening ray
To those who seek his power.
The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,
Maintain a warrior's strife;
O Christian, hear his voice to-day:
Obedience is thy life.
The Saviour bids thee watch and pray;
For soon the hour will come
That calls thee from the earth away
To thine eternal home.
The Saviour bids thee watch and pray;
O hearken to his voice,
And follow where he leads the way,
To heaven's eternal joys!
