Pray on, pray on, O trust­ing heart,
Let not thy cour­age fail;
But take thy Sav­ior at His word,
And know thou shalt pre­vail.

Refrain

Tho’ the cross is hard to bear,
There is balm in sec­ret pray­er;
Go and tell thy sor­rows there,
And leave it all with Je­sus.

What tho’ thy pray­ers thro’ ma­ny tears
May reach His throne on high;
He knows the ang­uish of thy heart,
And will not pass thee by.

Refrain

Perhaps in some de­spond­ing hour,
When hope has well nigh past,
The light will burst up­on thy soul,
And joy be thine at last.

Refrain

Pray on, pray on, O wea­ry not,
Whate’er thy tri­al be;
But lean thy faith on Him who said,
It shall be well with thee.
