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
Watch, yes, and pray

At noon, when the sounds of 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
Watch, yes, and pray

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

Early in the morning, and without ceasing
Watch, yes, and pray

And without ceasing, watch every moment
That the enemy attacks without stopping
Only with Jesus, in constant communion
Can mortals reach Heaven

Early in the morning, and without ceasing
Watch, yes, and pray
