Representative Text

1 Pray on; nor faint, nor cease,
Nor ever weary grow,
Until the answer come in peace;
Faint not, pray on.
Pray on; it is the way
He takes to succor thee
With strength for ev’ry day;
Faint not, pray on.

2 Pray on; in faith and love,
Believing in His pow’r
To hear thee from His throne above;
Faint not, pray on.
Pray on; the promise rests
Upon unceasing pray’r;
‘Twill win thy soul’s requests;
Faint not, pray on.
