Did You Think to Pray?

Ere you left your room this morn­ing

Did you think to pray?

In the name of Christ our Sav­ior

Did you sue for lov­ing fa­vor

As a shield to­day?

O how pray­ing rests the wea­ry!

Prayer will change the night to day;

So when life seems 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?

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?

When sore tri­als came up­on you

Did you think to pray?

When your soul was bowed in sor­row

Balm of Gi­le­ad did you bor­row

At the gates of day?
