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.
