Prayer Persevering

orchidee



Tune: University College

('Oft in danger, oft in woe')

***********

Persevere on here in prayer

Bringing to your Lord each care

Not looking to outward sight

But in faith view inward light

 

Not give up, not let feelings

Be final say in each thing

But believe we receiving

What we pray for, Him trusting

 

Whether it be later, now

What time-scale, the Lord knows how

To bring it about, He will

Work His will, His plans fulfil

 

What we troubled, heart and mind

In our Lord we peace may find

Nothing out of His control

He knows all, entire and whole
