Did You Think to Pray

Ere you left your room this morning,

Did you think to pray?

Did you sue for loving favor,

As a shield today?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So in sorrow and in gladness,

Don't forget to pray.

When you met with great temptation,

Did you think to pray?

Did you claim the Holy Spirit,

As your guide and stay?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So in sorrow and in gladness,

Don't forget to pray.

When your heart was filled with anger,

Did you think to pray?

That you might forgive another,

Who had crossed your way?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So in sorrow and in gladness,

Don't forget to pray.

When sore trials came upon you,

Did you think to pray?

Balm of Gilead did you borrow,

At the gates of day?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So in sorrow and in gladness,

Don't forget to pray.
