The Saviour bids us watch and pray
1
The Saviour bids us watch and prayThrough time's brief, fleeting hour,And gives the Spirit's quickening rayTo those who seek its power.
2
The Saviour bids us watch and pray,Maintain a warrior's strife;Help, Lord, to hear thy voice to-day;Obedience is our life.
3
The Saviour bids us watch and pray;For quickly he will come,To call us from our toils awayTo our eternal home.
4
The Saviour bids us watch and pray;For lo! the Judge is near;O may we joyfully obey,And watch till he appear!
