Verse 1
Lord, 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 with-held,
Parly with the world and sin,
And cast away our shield.
Verse 2
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.
