Ere you left your room this morning

Did you think to pray

In the name of Christ our Saviour

Did you sue for loving favour

As a shield today?



Oh 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?



Oh 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 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?



Oh how praying rests the weary

Prayer will change the night to day

So when life seems dark and dreary

Don't forget to pray...
