Luke 22:40: Warn'd of God to watch and pray
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Warn'd of God to watch and pray.
Ere the dying hour arrive,
Let us antedate the day.
Against sin and Satan strive,
Urge our vehement request,
Wrestle till the power come down.
Power to bear the fiery test.
Power to win the martyr's crown.
