Keep on Praying (Smith)

Tho’ the foes of right op­press

Keep on pray­ing;

Christ

the Lord

is near to bless

All pre­vail­ing.

Let not fear your heart ap­pall

Naught of ev­il can be­fall

Stronger is your God than all;

Keep on pray­ing.

Keep on pray­ing

Keep on pray­ing

Thro’ the Sav­ior’s bless­èd name

All pre­vail­ing.

Christian

has your faith grown weak?

Keep on pray­ing;

Do the tears roll down your cheek?

Keep on pray­ing.

Soon you nev­er more will sigh

Tears no more shall dim your eye

Pray to Him who’s al­ways nigh

Never fail­ing.

Pilgrim

have you wea­ry grown?

Keep on pray­ing

God is yet upon His throne

Keep on pray­ing.

He will hear your faith­ful cry

He to help is ev­er nigh

You shall con­quer by and by

Keep on pray­ing.

Praises shall with pray­ers as­cend

Keep on pray­ing;

Pray and praise till life shall end

Keep on pray­ing.

Till you reach the gold­en gate

Where the ran­somed souls await

Claiming there your tri­umph great

Keep on pray­ing.
