The Lord Will Answer Prayer

Pray on

pray on

be­liev­ing one

God’s pro­mised word is sure

That they shall ov­er­come by faith

Who to the end en­dure;

Pray on

pray on

O wea­ry not

The cross with pa­tience bear

And though its bur­den weighs us down

The Lord will an­swer pray­er.

His eye fore­sees our great­est good

While we at best are weak

And thus in wis­dom He with­holds

The boon that oft we seek;

And yet His all-suf­fi­cient grace

He bids us free­ly share

And in a way we lit­tle know

The Lord will an­swer pray­er.

With anx­ious thoughts for those we love

How oft our hearts are filled

But soon the clouds are rolled away

The trou­bled ways are stilled;

Then mur­mur not

but trust in Him

Who knows our ev­ery care

And bet­ter far than we can ask

The Lord will an­swer pray­er.
