Sqiritual Watchfulness.

6.

Also watch thy self within,
Flesh and Spirit ever;
Lest thro' Carelesness and Sin
God withdraw his Favour.
Mortal Dust's
Full of Lnsts,
Of it self short sighted,
In its Pride delighted.

7.

But upon thy Watch Tow'r pray
Taking no denyals,
That the Lord would take away
Sins which caule thy Tryals.
Which depress
And distress,
And so sleepy make thee,
That Death may o'er take thee.

8.

God will humbly be ador'd
E'er he does Relieve us.
With our Cries he'll be implor'd,
That he may retreive us.
Evermore
By his Pow'r
Conquer Sin and Evil,
World, and Flesh, and Devil.

9.

All things must however turn
To the best and ease us;
If to him we pray and mourn
Thro' his dear Son Jesus;
For ye know
He'll bestow
On us Grace exceeding,
Thro' Christ's Interceding.
