Vigiar e Orar

Early in the morning although the serene sky
Seems to announce a calm day
Watch and pray, the small heart
Can shelter a storm

Early in the morning and without ceasing
To watch and pray

At noon and when the sounds of the earth
Muffle more of God's voice of love
Turn to prayer, avoid war
And enjoy peace with the Lord

Early in the morning and without ceasing
To watch and pray

From day to end after your labors
Remember the blessings of heavenly love
And tell God joys and sorrows
Leaving the pain in His hands

Early in the morning and without ceasing
To watch and pray

And without ceasing, watch every moment
That the enemy attacks without stopping
Only with Jesus in constant communion
Will the faithful triumph

Early in the morning and without ceasing
To watch and pray
