1  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.
