Hymn 257 - The Saviour Bids Thee Watch and Pray

The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,

Through life’s momentous hour,

And grants the Spirit’s quick’ning ray

To those who seek His power,

To those who seek His power.

The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,

Maintain a warrior’s strife:

O Christian! hear His voice today:

Obedience is thy life,

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 thy eternal home,

To thy eternal home.

The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,

Oh, hearken to His voice,

And follow where He leads the way

To heav’n’s eternal joys!

To heav’n’s eternal joys!
