Lyrics

Where, O bro­ther, are you go­ing,
As you tra­vel on to­day?
Are you one among the Mas­ter’s chos­en few?
Are you seek­ing heav’n­ly man­sions,
Free from sor­row or de­cay?
Then keep pray­ing as your jour­ney you pursue.

Refrain

Keep pray­ing and sing­ing,
Every sor­row will van­ish with the night;
Keep pray­ing and sing­ing,
And your path will be beau­ti­ful and bright.

Do the cares of life op­press you,
Are your sor­rows mul­ti­plied?
Jesus said that He your ev­ery load would bear;
Only let Him share your bur­dens,
He will fill you with de­light,
Talk it ov­er with your bless­èd Lord in pray­er.

Refrain

After work on earth is ended,
After vic­t’ry has been won,
We shall leave our cares and bur­dens all be­low;
Then we’ll soar away with Je­sus,
To be hap­py, glad and free,
And no sor­row we, in Hea­ven, e’er shall know.
