Pray on, pray on, believing ones, God's promised word is sure, That they shall overcome by faith Who to the end endure ; Pray on, pray on ; oh, weary not, The cross with patience bear ; And though its burdens weigh us down, The Lord will answer prayer.
2. His eye foresees our greatest good, While we at best are weak ; And thus in wisdom He withholds The boon that oft we seek : And yet His all-sufficient grace He bids us freely share, And in a way we little know The Lord will answer prayer.
3. With anxious thoughts for those we love How oft our hearts are filled ! But soon the clouds are rolled away, The troubled waves are stilled : Then murmur not, but trust in Him Who knows our every care----- And better far than we can ask, The Lord will answer prayer.
