WATCH AND PRAY.

By Chorusman

So hath Christ left us, with the sacred charge: “Watch, watch, and pray!” In life's great garden we can roam at large, But still we may Not lie at ease, but work while it is day.

Yes; we must watch, and while we watch must pray, Lest we, too, fall; Temptations hover strangely o’er our way; God knows them all, And saves from danger those that on him call.

When next Christ comes, in all his glorious power, Let him not say, “What! could ye not watch with me one hour?” And soon the day Will witness that return! Then “watch and pray!” —Chorusman.
