Pray, always pray; the Holy Spirit pleads.

Within thee all thy daily hourly needs.

Pray, always pray; beneath sins heaviest load.

Prayer sees the blood from Jesus’ side that flow’d.

Pray, always pray; though weary, faint, and lone.

Prayer nestles by the Father’s sheltering throne.

Pray, always pray; amid the world’s turmoil

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

Pray, always pray; if joys thy pathway throng

Prayer strikes the harp and sings the angels’ song.

Pray, always pray, if loved one pass the veil

Prayer drinks with them of springs that cannot fail.

All earthly things with earth shall fade away.

Prayer grasps eternity, pray, always pray.
