William Perkins - Did you think to pray? - текст песни (слова)

Ere you left your room this morning,
 Did you think to pray?
 In the name of Christ our Saviour,
 Did you sue for loving favour,
 As a shield today?
 
 Refrain:
 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.
 
 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?
 Refrain
 
 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?
 Refrain
 
 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?
 Refrain
