Did You Think to Pray?

M. A. Kidder (1876) • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14

Verse 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 today?

Chorus

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

Verse 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?

Chorus

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

Verse 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?

Chorus

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

Verse 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?

Chorus

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