Ere you left your room this morning

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

Oh how praying rests the weary
Prayer will change the night to day
So when life seems dark and dreary
Dont forget to pray
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
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
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
