1 Work, watch and pray, the passing hour improving, Life’s ebbing sand perchance will soon be run; Work, watch and pray, and may each golden moment Tell of some good our willing hands have done. Refrain: Work, watch and pray, the Lord Himself commandeth; Look unto Him from Whom all blessings flow, And if we fail in wisdom, grace or knowledge, Still look to Him Who doth our weakness know. 2 Work, watch and pray, and let our zeal be fervent, We may not know the bliss for us in store; Then labor on, while yet the sunshine lingers, Night comes apace when we can work no more. [Refrain] 3 Work, watch and pray, and never be discouraged, Tho’ for a while our toil may seem in vain, Yet we shall see the little cloud arising, God in His love will send the promised rain. [Refrain]
