Mark 13:37: I say unto all, Watch

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Is there a saint who doth not need
To watch and pray, while station'd here?
Doth grace the duty supersede.
Or love cast out the humble fear?
Who bade the twelve, take heed, beware,
Cautioning them, He cautions all:
And those that watch with ceaseless care.
Can never sin, can never fall.
