Pray, brethren, pray,
The pray'r of faith availeth;
Pray, brethren, pray,
On God your spirit stay.

Chorus:

A few more days of sorrow
And the Lord will call us home,
To walk the golden streets
Of the new Jerusalem.

Sing, brethren, sing,
Rejoice with joy and gladness;
Sing, brethren, sing,
Your songs of triumph bring.

(Chorus)

Rise, brethren, rise,
Your souls by faith ascending;
Rise, brethren, rise,
Your home is in the skies.

(Chorus)
