When the heart grows faint, And the soul is weary, Brother, work, watch, pray; When the nights are long, And the days are dreary, Brother, work, watch, pray. Refrain Work, watch and pray; Brother, bid the tempter flee; When the heart is faint And the life seems vain, My brother, work, watch, pray. When the way seems lost, And the staff is broken, Brother, work, watch, pray; And the spirit yearns For some kindly token, Brother, work, watch, pray. Refrain For your work will bring You the richest treasure, Brother, work, watch, pray; And your prayer’s reward Is the sweetest pleasure, Brother, work, watch, pray. Refrain
