Balm in Secret Prayer

Pray on

pray on

O trust­ing heart

Let not thy cour­age fail;

But take thy Sav­ior at His word

And know thou shalt pre­vail.

Tho’ the cross is hard to bear

There is balm in sec­ret pray­er;

Go and tell thy sor­rows there

And leave it all with Je­sus.

What tho’ thy pray­ers thro’ ma­ny tears

May reach His throne on high;

He knows the ang­uish of thy heart

And will not pass thee by.

Perhaps in some de­spond­ing hour

When hope has well nigh past

The light will burst up­on thy soul

And joy be thine at last.

Pray on

pray on

O wea­ry not

Whate’er thy tri­al be;

But lean thy faith on Him who said

It shall be well with thee.
