152. Did You Think To Pray?

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]
