|
|
<p>Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, from thy sleep awaken;<br>
|
|
Be not by the evil day unawares be taken.<br>
|
|
For the foe, well we know, oft his harvest reapeth,<br>
|
|
While the Christian sleepeth.</p>
|
|
<p>Watch against the devil’s snares lest asleep he find thee;<br>
|
|
For indeed no pains he spares to deceive and blind thee.<br>
|
|
Satan’s prey oft are they who secure are sleeping<br>
|
|
And no watch are keeping.</p>
|
|
<p>Watch! Let not the wicked world with its power defeat thee.<br>
|
|
Watch lest with her pomp unfurled she betray and cheat thee.<br>
|
|
Watch and see lest there be faithless friends to charm thee,<br>
|
|
Who but seek to harm thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Watch against thyself, my soul, lest with grace thou trifle;<br>
|
|
Let not self thy thoughts control nor God’s mercy stifle.<br>
|
|
Pride and sin lurk within all thy hopes to scatter;<br>
|
|
Heed not when they flatter.</p>
|
|
<p>But while watching, also pray to the Lord unceasing,<br>
|
|
He will free thee, be thy Stay, strength and faith increasing.<br>
|
|
O Lord, bless in distress and let nothing swerve me<br>
|
|
From the will to serve Thee.</p>
