“WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR”

Oh come away from care and strife

   That falls upon you in this life

I am your strong and lofty Tower

   Will you now watch with Me one Hour?

Come sit low at My feet My Dove

   My banner over you is love

Feed on My Word you’ll never tire

   Will you now watch with Me one hour?

Yes come aside and rest today

   And every burden on Me lay

I’ll comfort, strengthen by My Power

   Will you now watch with Me one hour?

Now steal away to secret stair

   And let me see your face so fair

You’re safe in Me your High Tower

   Will you now watch with Me one hour?

Then come away to mountain high

   My coming now is drawing nigh

I’ll give you rest and peace and power

   If you will watch with Me one hour.

Well done Thou true and faithful one

   You’ve won My heart, your Prize you’ve won

You’ll reign with Me, My Bride with power

   For you did watch with Me one hour.
