| Text: | Did You Think To Pray? |
| Author: | Mrs. M. A. Kidder |
| Tune: | [Ere you left your room this morning] |
| Composer: | W. O. Perkins |
1 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?
Chorus:
O how praying rests the weary!
Praying will change the night to day;
So when life seems dark and dreary,
Don't forget to pray.
2 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? [Chorus]
3 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? [Chorus]
