Pray, always pray! the Holy Spirit pleads

1.

Pray, always pray! the Holy Spirit pleads

Within thee all thy daily, hourly needs.

2.

Pray, always pray! beneath sin’s heaviest load

Pray’r sees the blood from Jesus’ side that flow’d.

3.

Pray, always pray! though weary, faint and lone!

Pray’r nestles by the Father’s shelt’ring throne.

4.

Pray, always pray! amid the worlds turmoil

Prayer keeps the heart at rest, and nerves for toil.

5.

Pray, always pray! if joys thy pathway throng,

Prayer strikes the harp, and sings the angels’ song.

6.

Pray, always pray! if loved ones pass the veil

Prayer drinks with them of springs that cannot fail

7.

All earthly things with earth shall fade away

Prayer grasps eternity: pray, always pray!
