Pray and Earnestly Plead

Verse 1

Do sin and guilt oppress thee sore? Go to the Lord in prayer; And, bowing at his throne of grace, He'll bless and save thee there.

Chorus

Pray, brother, believing! Plead earnestly, plead! Remember Christ is ever near To help in time of need.

Verse 2

Do doubts and fears distress thy heart, Or clouds obscure thy way; Do strong temptations baffle thee? Forget not, then, to pray.

Verse 3

In the dark hour of grief and pain, When joy is fled away, Seek thou the mercy-seat again; Then is the time to pray.

Verse 4

When dawns the solemn hour of death, When closes life's short day, Renouncing there thy latest breath, Trust in the Lord, and pray.
