Classic Poem

Pray, always pray; the Holy Spirit pleads
Within thee all thy daily hourly needs.

Pray, always pray; beneath sin's heaviest load
Prayer sees the blood from Jesus' side that flow'd.

Pray, always pray; though weary, faint, and lone,
Prayer nestles by the Father's sheltering throne.

Pray, always pray; amid the world's turmoil
Prayer keeps the heart at rest, and nerves for toil.

Pray, always pray; if joys thy pathway throng,
Prayer strikes the harp, and sings the angels' song.

Pray, always pray; if loved ones pass the veil,
Prayer drinks with them of springs that cannot fail.

All earthly things with earth shall fade away;
Prayer grasps eternity: pray, always pray.
