‘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 rest 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

Oh how praying rest the weary
Prayer will change the night to day
So when life gets dark and dreary
Don’t forget to pray

I need Thee every hour
Stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou are nigh

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee.

I need Thee every hour
Most Holy One
Oh, make Thine indeed
Thou blessed Son

I need Thee oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now my Savior,
I come to Thee
