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 in sorrow or in gladness, don't forget to pray

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

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

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

Don't forget to pray
