GRH 373 Did You Think to Pray

(1)
Ere 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 today?
O how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night today;
So, when life seems dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray.

(2)
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?
O how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night today;
So, when life seems dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray.

(3)
When your heart was filled with anger
Did you think to pray?
Did you plead for grace, my brother,
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way?
O how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night today;
So, when life seems dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray.
