1. Along life’s rugged, thorny way,
    Keep praying, toiling on;
    There soon will dawn a brighter day,
    Keep praying, toiling on.
    The trials you have had are past;
    Bear patiently the ones thou hast;
    If others come, they will not last,
    Keep praying, toiling on.
    • Refrain:
      Keep praying, toiling,
      Praying, toiling on;
      There soon will dawn a brighter day,
      Keep praying, toiling on.
  2. All fears and gloomy doubts discard,
    Keep praying, toiling on;
    Faith never fails of its reward,
    Keep praying, toiling on.
    Hold firm and steadfast to the end;
    From duty do not swerve or bend;
    For help, on Him you can depend,
    Keep praying, toiling on.
  3. If griefs seem more than you can bear,
    Keep praying, toiling on;
    For praying lightens every care,
    Keep praying, toiling on.
    The Savior has great sympathy
    For struggling mortals such as we,
    And He will give us victory—
    Keep praying, toiling on.
