English Yorùbá
Meter 10.10 Adura
  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 flow'd.

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