Hymn of The Week - CHRISTIAN SEEK NOT YET REPOSE


1. Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
  Watch and pray.

2. Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours:
  Watch and pray.


3. Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
  Watch and pray.

4. Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
  Watch and pray.

5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
  Watch and pray.

6. Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
  Watch and pray.

Lyrics:Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871)

Music:William Henry Monk (1823-1889)
