Biblical citations in the hymnal:  Matthew 25:5, 13; 26:41; 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9; Revelation 16:15

Matthew 25:5:  "'As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.'"

Matthew 25:13:  "'Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.'"

Matthew 26:41:  "'Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.  The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.'"

1 Thessalonians 5:5-9:  "5 For you are all children of light, children of the day.  We are not of the night or of the darkness.  6 So then let us not sleep, as other do, but let us keep awake and be sober.  7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.  8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.  9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ"

Revelation 16:15:  "('Behold, I am coming like a thief!  Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!')"

Rise, my soul, to watch and pray;

From your sleep awaken!

Be not by the evil day

Unawares o'ertaken;

For the foe,

Well we know,

Is a harvest reaping

While the saints are sleeping.

Watch against the devil's snares

Lest asleep he find you;

For indeed no pains he spares

To deceive and blind you.

Satan's prey

Oft are they

Who secure are sleeping

And no watch are keeping.

Watch! Let not the wicked world

With its lies defeat you

Lest with bold deceptions hurled

It betray and cheat you.

Watch and see

Lest there be

Faithless friends to charm you,

Who but seek to harm you.

Watch against yourself, my soul,

Lest with grace you trifle;

Let not self your thoughts control

Nor God's mercy stifle.

Pride and sin

Lurk within,

All your hopes to shatter;

Heed not when they flatter.

But while watching, also pray

To the Lord unceasing.

God protects you day by day,

Strength and faith increasing,

So that still

Mind and will

Shall unite to serve Him

And forever love Him.

Much of the hymn is about staying awake and watchful.  All of the cited passages deal with at least one of these, so it's difficult to tell where or if the hymn draws from one passage more than an-other.  The first two verses, however, mention sleep, and this indicates a bit more influence from Matthew 25:5, 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9, and Revelation 16:15.
