Religion
Mark 14:38: Unless a constant watch I keep
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Unless a constant watch I keep,
I cannot without ceasing pray.
Unless by prayer I shake off sleep,
I fold my hands, and sink away;
Saviour, bestow the double power,
My soul and flesh with strength endue,
And save me from the dangerous hour,
Or bring me more than conqueror through.
