The pray­ers your lips have plead­ed
In ag­ony of heart these ma­ny years?
Does faith be­gin to fail, is hope de­part­ing,
And think you all in vain those fall­ing tears?
Say not the Fa­ther hath not heard your pray­er:
You shall have your de­sire, some­time, some­where,
You shall have your de­sire, some­time, som­ewhere.

Though when you first pre­sent­ed
This one pe­ti­tion at the Fa­ther’s throne,
It seemed you could not wait the time of ask­ing,
So ur­gent was your heart to make it known.
Though years have passed since then, do not des­pair;
The Lord will an­swer you, some­time, some­where,
The Lord will an­swer you, some­time, some­where.

Nay, do not say un­grant­ed;
Perhaps your part is not yet whol­ly done;
The work be­gan when first your pray­er was ut­tered,
And God will fin­ish what He has be­gun.
If you will keep the incense burn­ing there,
His glo­ry you shall see, some­time some­where,
His glo­ry you shall see, some­time some­where.

Faith cannot be un­an­swered;
Her feet were firm­ly plant­ed on the Rock;
Amid the wild­est storm pray­er stands un­daunt­ed,
Nor quail be­fore the loud­est thun­der shock.
She knows Om­ni­po­tence has heard her pray­er,
And cries, It shall be done, some­time, some­where,
And cries, It shall be done, some­time, some­where.
