Thoughtfully
- 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]
Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray.
- 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]
Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray.
- When sore trials came upon you,
Did you think to pray?
When your soul was full of sorrow,
Balm of Gilead did you borrow
At the gates of day?
[Chorus]
Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray.

莫忘祷告
沉思地
1.今晨你离开房间时，曾否做祷告？
奉主耶稣基督的名，你有无求喜爱恩惠，
作今日护卫？
[Chorus]
祷告使你否去泰来，使晚间变成白昼，
生命遇黑暗凄凉时，切莫忘祷告。
2.你心里充满愤恨时，曾否做祷告？
兄弟你有无求恩赐，使那些阻碍你的人，
得到你宽恕？
[Chorus]
祷告使你否去泰来，使晚间变成白昼，
生命遇黑暗凄凉时，切莫忘祷告。
3.当痛苦考验来临时，曾否做祷告？
你的灵魂满布愁云，你有无求基列的油，
解今日忧愁？
[Chorus]
祷告使你否去泰来，使晚间变成白昼，
生命遇黑暗凄凉时，切莫忘祷告。
