Ever Will I Pray

Representative Text

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

Refrain:
I will pray, I will pray,
Ever will I pray,
Morning, noon, and ev'ning,
Unto Thee I’ll pray

2 At the busy noontide,
Press’d with work and care,
Then I’ll wait with Jesus
Till He hear my pray'r. [Refrain]

3 When the ev'ning shadows
Chase away the light,
Father, then I’ll pray Thee;
Bless Thy child to-night. [Refrain]

4 Thus in life’s glad morning,
In its bright noonday,
In its shadowy ev'ning,
Ever will I pray. [Refrain]
