Lyrics 1 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, O weary not; The cross with patience bear, And tho’ its burden 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 tho’ts for those we love How oft our hearts are filled, But soon the clouds are rolled away, The troubles waves are stilled; Then murmur not, but trust in Him Who knows our every care, And better for than we can ask, The Lord will answer prayer.
