Watch, For The Time Is Short

in Robert Lowry’s Hymn Collection

LYRIC

Print

1 Watch, for the time is short;
Watch while ’tis called today;
Watch lest the world prevail;
Watch, Christian, watch and pray;
Watch, for the flesh is weak;
Watch, for the foe is strong;
Watch lest the Bridegroom come;
Watch, tho’ he tarry long.

Chorus:
O watch and pray,
O watch and pray;
O watch is the darkness, and watch in the day;
Christian, watch and pray.

2 Chase slumber from thine eyes,
Chase doubting from thy breast;
Thine is the promis’d prize
Of heaven’s eternal rest;
Watch, Christian, watch and pray;
Thy Saviour watched for thee
Till from his brow there poured
Great drops of agony.

3 Take Jesus for thy trust;
Watch while the foe is near;
Gird well the armor on;
Watch till thy Lord appear.
Now when thy sun is up,
Make thou no more delay,
In this accepted time
Watch, Christian, watch and pray.

      Watch, For The Time Is Short

      1 Watch, for the time is short;
      Watch while ’tis called today;
      Watch lest the world prevail;
      Watch, Christian, watch and pray;
      Watch, for the flesh is weak;
      Watch, for the foe is strong;
      Watch lest the Bridegroom come;
      Watch, tho’ he tarry long.

      Chorus:
      O watch and pray,
      O watch and pray;
      O watch is the darkness, and watch in the day;
      Christian, watch and pray.

      2 Chase slumber from thine eyes,
      Chase doubting from thy breast;
      Thine is the promis’d prize
      Of heaven’s eternal rest;
      Watch, Christian, watch and pray;
      Thy Saviour watched for thee
      Till from his brow there poured
      Great drops of agony.

      3 Take Jesus for thy trust;
      Watch while the foe is near;
      Gird well the armor on;
      Watch till thy Lord appear.
      Now when thy sun is up,
      Make thou no more delay,
      In this accepted time
      Watch, Christian, watch and pray.
