When daily I kneel down to pray

Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When daily I kneel down to pray, As I am taught to do, God does not care for what I say Unless I feel it too. Yet foolish tho'ts my heart beguile, And when I pray or sing, I'm often thinking all the while About some other thing. 2 Oh, let me never, never dare To act a trifler's part, Or think that God will hear a pray'r, That comes not from the heart. But if I make his ways my choice, As holy children do, Then, while I seek him with my voice, My heart will love him too. Used With Tune: WANDERING THO'TS
