Representative Text

1 Would you live a holy life,
And be free from sinful strife,
Keep praying as you go, keep praying as you go;
Tho’ the tempter may assail,
And your efforts seem to fail,
Keep praying as you onward go.

Refrain:
Keep praying,
Keep praying,
The needed blessings Jesus will bestow;
‘Mid the toil and care of life,
In its turmoil and its strife,
Keep praying as you onward go.

2 Trials you are sure to meet,
But you never need retreat,
Keep praying as you go, keep praying as you go;
Thro’ the many battles here,
Christ the Lord will give you cheer,
Keep praying as you onward go. [Refrain]

3 Would you help a soul to cheer,
Help to dry the flowing tear,
Keep praying as you go, keep praying as you go;
Trust the Lord in ev’ry move
And a blessing you will prove,
Keep praying as you onward go. [Refrain]

4 You must surely reach the goal,
Tho’ the billows high may roll,
Keep praying as you go, keep praying as you go;
Just beyond the tempest blast
There your anchor you will cast,
Keep praying as you onward go. [Refrain]
