When you re­ceive no an­swer to pray­er,
Never lose faith nor yield to des­pair.
Give un­to Je­sus your bur­den of care,
Keep on be­liev­ing in the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

Keep on be­liev­ing, keep on be­liev­ing,
Keep on be­liev­ing in the pro­mis­es of God;
Tho’ de­lay may long en­dure,
Yet the an­swer will be sure:
Keep on be­liev­ing in the pro­mis­es of God.

Doubt not the Lord when tempt­ed and tried;
Worlds pass away, His Word shall abide!
He is al­migh­ty, in Him you may hide,
Keep on be­liev­ing in the pro­mis­es of God.

Refrain

Tho’ you should walk in dark­ness awhile,
Over the thorns for ma­ny a mile,
Watch for the dawn­ing, and sing with a smile,
Keep on be­liev­ing in the pro­mis­es of God.
