The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13814

13814. Keep On

1 Never let your courage fail you,
Never let your spirits faint;
Never, never think of failure,
Be a working saint.

Refrain:
Keep on working, keep on praying,
Keep on fighting with the Spirit’s sword;
Keep on working, keep on praying;
Keep on trusting in the mighty Lord.

2 Turn away from faithless cowards,
Help the weak, and cheer the brave;
Trust in God, and pressing forward,
Strive the world to save. [Refrain]

3 With the voice of holy living,
Praise the Lord for what is done!
Keep on getting, keep on giving,
Till the world is won. [Refrain]

4 Be not idle, God beholds us,
Bear the fruits of heav’nly grace;
Spend more time alone with Jesus,
See God face to face. [Refrain]
