À Force De Prier (English translation: "By Persistently Praying") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, performed in French by Nana Mouskouri.
The song is a ballad, with Mouskouri telling the object of her affections that she intends to have him love her "by persistently praying" for this to occur.
The song was performed sixteenth on the night (following Monaco's Françoise Hardy with L'Amour S'En Va). At the close of voting, it had received 13 points, placing 8th in a field of 16.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1964 Contest by Hugues Aufray with Dès Que Le Printemps Revient.
