Praying Always

Teacher

Little eyes

look­ing wise

Have you said your morn­ing prayer?

Have you thought

as you ought

Of our heav’n­ly Fa­ther’s care?

Tell me what our pray­er should be

When the morn­ing light we see.

All

Pleasant light

clear and bright

Shining on the world to­day.

So may love from ab­ove

Shine along our up­ward way;

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.

All

Water clear

stand­ing near

Wash our hands and fac­es clean.

May the Lord

by His Word

Wash our hearts from ev­ery sin.

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.

Girls

Cloak and hood

new and good

Made to keep our bo­dies warm.

Words of truth

learned in youth

Keep our souls from ev­ery harm.

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.

Boys

Boot or shoe

old or new

Let us keep them clean and neat;

Let us pray that we may

Some day walk the gold­en street;

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.

Girls

Collar white

rib­bons bright

Apron

bon­net

shawl or dress;

So may we ev­er be

Clad in Je­sus’ right­eous­ness;

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.

Boys

Top or ball

trea­sures all

Books and toys I dear­ly prize;

Yet may I

when I die

To my heav’n­ly trea­sures rise;

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.

All

Night or day

work or play

In our hearts may be a pray­er;

God can see if there be

Well He knows what thoughts are there;

So let ev­ery­thing we see

Turn our thoughts

O Lord

to Thee.
