Savior Lord This Blessed Hour

Savior Lord this blessed hour
We've come to watch and pray with Thee
To heed Thy words and emplore
The Holy Ghost, in us, to speak

"Watch and pray," Thou asked that night
Of Thine disciples long ago
As Thou, who art filled with light,
Went where no man would or could go

Here we seek to understand
What Thou would have us do each day
Continually, to withstand
The temptations we tend to disobey

Help us endure, to the end
Along the straight and narrow way
With love for God, and all man
And gratitude, for Thee, always

The Saviour while instituting the sacrament among the Nephites.

3 Nephi 18: 15 He says: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always, lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye be led away captive by him."
