1 Be not discouraged when dark is the way,
Trust in the Savior, your hope and your stay;
Bow down before Him and fervently pray;
Jesus will answer your pray’r.

Refrain:
Jesus will answer your pray’r,
Bring Him your burden and care;
Oh, He will be near you to help and to cheer you,
For Jesus will answer your pray’r.

2 Be not dismayed, He will counsel and lead,
Tell Him your problems for He knows your need;
He will prove faithful, a true Friend indeed,
Jesus will answer your pray’r. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is waiting to pardon your sin,
Waiting to purge you and cleanse you within;
No one but Jesus can help you to win,
Jesus will answer your pray’r. [Refrain]

4 Look to the Savior to guide you each day,
Lean on His promise each step of the way;
If in His name you will trustingly pray,
Jesus will answer your pray’r. [Refrain]
