Go in Secret and Pray

Edgar A. Holme • English

Primary Scripture: James 4:8

Verse 1

My feet often times grow weary While walking life’s toilsome way, And then, to find strength and comfort, I go and in secret I pray.

Chorus

I enter and close the door; Jesus and I talk it o’er; He comforts, He strengthens, He cheers me, And I am discouraged no more.

Verse 2

My hands often tire with toiling, And long seems the passing day, And then, lest I faint and falter, I go and in secret I pray.

Chorus

I enter and close the door; Jesus and I talk it o’er; He comforts, He strengthens, He cheers me, And I am discouraged no more.

Verse 3

My heart is at times discouraged When trials beset my way, And then, my weak faith to strengthen, I go and in secret I pray.

Chorus

I enter and close the door; Jesus and I talk it o’er; He comforts, He strengthens, He cheers me, And I am discouraged no more.

Verse 4

Temptation and sin assail me, To lure me from Christ away, You wonder how I resist them, I go and in secret I pray.

Chorus

I enter and close the door; Jesus and I talk it o’er; He comforts, He strengthens, He cheers me, And I am discouraged no more.

Verse 5

Whenever the light burns dimly, Or darkness obscures my way, I haste into Jesus presence, And kneeling there humbly I pray.

Chorus

I enter and close the door; Jesus and I talk it o’er; He comforts, He strengthens, He cheers me, And I am discouraged no more.
