Text:I Will Pray
Author:A. Cummings
Tune:[Father, in the morning]
Composer:J. H. Tenney

175. I Will Pray

1 Father, in the morning
Unto Thee I pray;
Let Thy loving kindness
Keep me thro' this day.

Chorus:
I will pray, I will pray,
Ever will I pray;
Morning, noon and evening
Unto Thee I’ll pray

2 At the busy noon-tide,
Pressed with work and care,
Then I’ll wait with Jesus
Till He hear my pray'r. [Chorus]

3 When the evening shadows
Chase away the light,
Father, then I’ll pray Thee
Bless Thy child tonight. [Chorus]

4 Thus in life’s glad morning,
In its bright noon-day,
In its shadowy evening,
Ever will I pray. [Chorus]
