Lyrics

Pray on, pray on, O wea­ry not,
Tho’ great thy con­flict be;
Look brave­ly up, and trust in Him
Whose love abides with thee.
Remember how He led thee forth,
Thro’ toil and dan­gers past;
Tho’ yet un­an­swered is thy pray­er,
’Twill all be right at last.

Refrain

’Twill all be right, ’twill all be right,
’Twill all be right at last;
Pray on, pray on, O wea­ry not,
’Twill all be right at last.

Pray on, pray on, and ne­ver faint,
Tho’ oft se­vere­ly tried;
If thine a per­se­ver­ing faith,
That will not be de­nied;
That thou shalt gain thy heart’s de­sire
The Lord His Word hath past;
Believest thou? then rest as­sured,
’Twill all be right at last.

Refrain

Pray on, pray on, with stead­fast hope,
For thou shalt yet pre­vail;
Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done,
The pro­mise cannot fail.
Cling firm­ly to the so­lid rock,
And hold the an­chor fast;
The clouds will break, the light will come
’Twill all be right at last.

Refrain
