Hymnal: Joy to the World #97 (1879) First Line: Long my spirit pined in sorrow Lyrics: 1 Long my spirit pined in sorrow,
Watching, waiting all in vain;
Waiting for the golden morrow,
Free from worldly care and pain.
When I heard a sweet voice saying,
In the accents of a friend,
Cheer up, brother; "Keep on praying,"
Keep on praying to the end.
2 Ye who sigh for holy pleasures,
Ye who mourn your load of sin,
"Keep on praying;" heav'nly treasures
In the end you're sure to win.
Wrestle with the Lord of glory,
Lay your treasures at his feet;
Plead with faith in Calvary's story,
Till your joys are all complete. Languages: English
Keep on Praying
