1 Corinthians 16:13: Watch, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

rt Lorp, throughout our evil day
Thy guardian grace bestow,
Constant power to watch and pray
Against our threefold foe,
Lest we let the tempter in
No longer by Thy strength withheld,
Parley with the world and sin,
And cast away our shield.

Thou who gav'st the word to all
To us Thy Spirit give;
Ceaseless then on Thee we call,
In Thee we walk and live,
Enter that celestial rest
(If watching by our Master found)
With Thy endless blessing blest,
And with Thy glory crown'd.
