Representative Text

1 Come, burdened souls, with all your guilt,
And all your weight of woe,
There’s mercy at a throne of grace;
Keep praying as you go.

Refrain:
Keep praying, ever praying,
Thro’ all your journey below;
To Jesus, to Jesus,
Keep praying as you go.

2 Behold the precious Lamb who died
For man, his love to show;
And while you seek the blood-stained cross,
Keep praying as you go. [Refrain]

3 Now, soldiers, gird your armor on,
And boldly meet the foe;
Let faith direct, and hope inspire;
Keep praying as you go. [Refrain]

4 Ye pilgrims on the heavn’ly way,
Thro’ trials here below,
O, never doubt a Saviour’s love;
Keep praying as you go. [Refrain]
