32. Pray, Pray, Pray

1 When the clouds of doubt appear,
When your faith would turn to fear,
Go to God in earnest prayer,
He will ev’ry burden share.

Refrain:
Pray, pray, pray,
When the day is sad and dreary,
Pray, pray, pray,
When the night is dark and weary;
God will hear your faintest cry,
You will find Him ever nigh,
If you pray, pray, pray,
If you pray, pray, pray.

2 Tho’ discouraged by the way,
Disappointments mar each day,
Ev’ry challenge prayer will meet,
Change the bitter into sweet. [Refrain]

3 When the tempter seeks to win,
Beckons with the wiles of sin,
Prayer will be a refuge sure,
Give you strength then to endure. [Refrain]

4 Pray, believing God will hear,
Know that He is ever near;
Trust the promise of His Word,
Ever lean upon the Lord. [Refrain]
