16380. Keep On Praying Ground

1 Our dear Sav­ior will give us
A robe and a crown,
If we keep on pray­ing ground;
Greatest bless­ings we’ll find when
Our ar­mor’s laid down,
If we keep on pray­ing ground.

Refrain:
Keep on pray­ing, my friend,
Till the jour­ney shall end,
There is joy b­eyond the sky;
Hallelujah, I cry,
I’ve a home up on high,
And I’ll reach it by and by!

2 O! our cross will be light­er
As on­ward we go,
If we keep on pray­ing ground;
And com­mun­ion be sweet­er
With Christ here be­low;
Let us stay on pray­ing ground. [Refrain]

3 If you know of a bro­ther
Who’s bur­dened with sin,
Help him out on pray­ing ground;
Where the Sav­ior can bless him
And let the light in;
Help him out on pray­ing ground. [Refrain]

4 Oh! our tri­als will ne­ver
Be hea­vy to bear,
If we stay on pray­ing ground;
Jesus al­ways is rea­dy
Our bur­dens to share;
We are safe on pray­ing ground. [Refrain]

5 We’ve a home up in Hea­ven,
A home of the soul,
If we keep on pray­ing ground;
And its glo­ries we’ll share while
The ag­es shall roll,
Keep us, Lord, on pray­ing ground. [Refrain]
