HYMN: Christian! Seek not yet repose | Kristian ma ti ‘wa ‘simi

ENGLISH LYRICS: Christian! Seek not yet repose

Watch and pray that he enter not into temptation. Matt.26:41

1.  Christian! Seek not yet repose,
    Hear thy guardian angel say.
    Thou art in the midst of foes:
    Watch and pray.

2. Principalities and powers,
    Must' ring their unseen array,
    Wait for thy unguarded hour:
    Watch and pray.

3. Gird thy heavenly armour 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 consent 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 issued of the day;
    Pray, that help may be sent down;
    Watch and pray
Amen
