The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#35

35. 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 to-day?

Refrain:
O how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day;
So, when seems life dark and dreary,
Don't forget to pray.

2 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? [Refrain]

3 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? [Refrain]

4 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? [Refrain]
