Watch unto Prayer

Verse 1

There’s a way that is free from sin, Few there be that shall enter in; Lest we stray from the narrow way, Help us ever to watch and pray.

Chorus

Watch and pray, watch and pray, Or the tempter will lead astray; Watch and pray, watch and pray, You shall overcome if you watch and pray.

Verse 2

Watch and pray every day and hour, Satan seeks whom he may devour; You shall conquer, resist the wrong, Standing fast in the Lord be strong.

Verse 3

Watch and pray lest the care and toil Of this life should your purpose foil; Lest you miss the eternal prize, For the faithful in paradise.

Verse 4

Watch and pray—soon the Lord shall come For His chosen, to take them home; Those who walk in His righteousness Shall abide in supernal bliss.
