Watch and Pray { Watch and Pray WATCH AND PRAY-William James Kirkpatrick Watch and Pray } Watch and pray that when the Master cometh, If at morning, noon or night, He may find a lamp in ev'ry window, Trimmed and burning clear and bright. Chorus Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth; Watch and pray, 'twill not be long; Soon He'll gather home His loved ones To the happy value of song. Watch and pray; the tempter may be near us; Keep the heart with jealous care, Lest, the door a moment left unguarded, Evil thoughts may enter there. Watch and pray, nor let us ever weary; Jesus watched and prayed alone, Prayed for us when only stars beheld Him, While on Olive's brow they shone. Watch and pray, nor leave our post of duty, Till we hear the Bridegroom's voice; Then, with Him the marriage feast partaking, We shall ever more rejoice.
