11198. The Lord Will Answer Prayer

1 Pray on, pray on, believing one,
God’s promised word is sure,
That they shall overcome by faith
Who to the end endure;
Pray on, pray on, O weary not,
The cross with patience bear,
And though its burden weighs us down,
The Lord will answer prayer.

2 His eye foresees our greatest good,
While we at best are weak,
And thus in wisdom He withholds
The boon that oft we seek;
And yet His all-sufficient grace
He bids us freely share,
And in a way we little know,
The Lord will answer prayer.

3 With anxious thoughts for those we love,
How oft our hearts are filled,
But soon the clouds are rolled away,
The troubled ways are stilled;
Then murmur not, but trust in Him
Who knows our every care,
And better far than we can ask,
The Lord will answer prayer.
