Thou art in the midst of foes: On which the Prince of Glory died,
Watch and pray. My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array, Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Wait for thy unguarded hours: Save in the death of Christ my God:
Watch and pray. All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood,
Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever, night and day; See! from His head, His hands, His feet,
Ambushed lies the evil one: Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Watch and pray. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Hear the victors who o'ercame;
Still they mark each warrior's way; Were the whole realm of nature mine,
All with one sweet voice exclaim, That were an offering far too small:
"Watch and pray." Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
