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 Oh, how praying rests the weary Prayer will change the night to day So, when life gets 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 When sore trials came upon you Did you think to pray When your soul was full of sorrow Balm of Gilead did you borrow At the gates of day
