Keep On

Representative Text

1 Never let your courage fail you,
Never let your spirits faint;
Never, never think of failure,
Be a working saint.

Refrain:
Keep on working,
Keep on praying,
Keep on fighting with the Spirit’s sword;
Keep on working,
Keep on praying,
Keep on trusting in the mighty Lord.

2 Turn away from faithless cowards,
Help the weak, and cheer the brave,
Trust in God, and pressing forward,
Strive the world to save. [Refrain]

3 With the voice of holy living
Praise the Lord for what is done!
Keep on getting, keep on giving
Till the world is won. [Refrain]

4 Be not idle, God beholds us,
Bear the fruits of heavenly grace,
Spend more time alone with Jesus,
See God face to face. [Refrain]
