PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

January 7.                     Genesis ch 29-32

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16‭-‬18 NASB1995

HYMN

1 Pray always pray;

the Holy Spirit pleads

Within thee all thy daily,

hourly needs.

2 Pray always pray;

beneath sin’s heaviest load

Prayer sees the blood

from Jesus’ side that flowed.

3.Pray always pray;

though weary faint, and lone,

Prayer nestles by

the Father’s shelt’ring throne.

4. Pray always pray;

amid the world’s turmoil

Prayer keeps the heart at rest,

and nerves for toil

5. Pray always pray;

if joys thy pathway throng,

Prayer strikes the harp,

and sings the angels’ song.

6. Pray always pray;

if loved ones pass the veil

Prayer drinks with them

of springs that cannot fail.

7. All earthly things

with earth shall fade away;

Prayer grasps eternity:

pray, always pray.
