First Line: Pray on, pray on, believing ones,

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.
