1. Ere you left your room this morning,\nDid you think to pray?\nIn the name of Christ, our Savior,\nDid you sue for loving favor\nAs a shield today?\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, how praying rests the weary!\nPrayer will change the night to day.\nSo, when life gets dark and dreary,\nDon’t forget to pray.\n\n2. When your heart was filled with anger,\nDid you think to pray?\nDid you plead for grace, my brother,\nThat you might forgive another\nWho had crossed your way?\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, how praying rests the weary!\nPrayer will change the night to day.\nSo, when life gets dark and dreary,\nDon’t forget to pray.\n\n3. When sore trials came upon you,\nDid you think to pray?\nWhen your soul was full of sorrow,\nBalm of Gilead did you borrow\nAt the gates of day?\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, how praying rests the weary!\nPrayer will change the night to day.\nSo, when life gets dark and dreary,\nDon’t forget to pray.\n\n4. When your cup felt overflowing,\nDid you think to pray?\nKneel in praise and adoration\nFor the hope of exaltation?\nChrist has shown the way.\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, how praying rests the weary!\nPrayer will change the night to day.\nSo, when life gets dark and dreary,\nDon’t forget to pray.\nDon’t forget to pray.\n
