Pray without Ceasing

Verse 1

Prayer is appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live, should Christians pray; They learn to pray when first they live.

Verse 2

If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress, If cares distract, or fears dismay, If guilt deject, if sin distress, In every case, still watch and pray.

Verse 3

'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak; Though thought be broken, language lame, Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak, But pray with faith in Jesus' name.

Verse 4

Depend on Him; thou canst not fail; Make all thy wants and wishes known; Fear not, His merits must prevail; Ask but in faith, it shall be done.
