1 When in the hour of pain and grief
Our hearts are longing for relief,
When prayer seems hindered all the day,
And we in weakness lose our way,
What shall we do when strength is gone?
Look to the hills! Pray on! pray on!
Chorus:
For prayer and faith cannot be denied;
Jesus has promised, His word is sure;
Look to the hills! Pray on! pray on!
Look to the hills! Pray on! pray on!
2 Tho’ oft the waiting time seems long,
Be patient. Sing a sweeter song;
God’s time, His way, is always best,
Trust, fully trust, and leave the rest;
His promise stands, Bid doubt be gone!
Look to the hills! Pray on! pray on! [Chorus]
3 We well can claim His promise rare,
And wait the answer to our prayer;
With thankful hearts we still can say,
“God’s answer may be on the way;”
We shall prevail if faith is strong;
Look to the hills! Pray on! pray on! [Chorus]
4 God answers prayer; when in our need
His promises our lips can plead,
Our hands reach out to clasp His hand,
Our hearts respond to His command,
Assurance comes, the burden’s gone;
Look to the hills! Pray on! pray on! [Chorus]
