Watch, for the night is ending!

   Watch, and the world not seek;

Watch, for the day is dawning!

   Watch, sink not in sleep.

Watch, for the Lord is coming!

   Watch for the foe's attack:

Watch, for the Lord is waiting!

   Watch, be never slack.

 2 

Watch, and arise in service!

   Watch, though the day be drear;

Watch, and go forth to labor!

   Watch, the end is near.

Watch and put on thy armor!

   Watch with thy spirit strong;

Watch to resist the devil!

   Watch, Christ comes ere long.

 3 

Watch for the Savior's coming!

   Watch for the Morning Star;

Watch and pursue the Kingdom!

   Watch with many a scar.

Watch, and be ever watchful!

   Watch, till the night is done;

Watch till the dawn of glory!

   Watch till the Lord shall come.
