LyicsERE you left your room this morning
Did you think to pray?
In the name of Christ, our Saviour,
Did you sue for loving favor,
As a shield to-day?--CHO.
Chorus.--O how praying rests the weary!
Pray'r will change the night to day;
So, when seems life dark and dreary,
Don't forget to pray.
When you met with great temptation
Did you think to pray?
By His dying love and merit,
Did you claim the Holy Spirit
As your guide and stay?--CHO.
When your heart was fill'd with anger
Did you think to pray?
Did you plead for grace, my brother,
That you might forgive another
Who had cross'd your way?--CHO.
When sore trials came upon you,
Did you think to pray?
When your soul was bow'd in sorrow,
Balm of Gilead did you borrow
At the gates of day?--CHO.
