As you left your room this morning, did you think to pray

Lines from this hymn came to mind this morning during my "quiet time" with the Lord. I am 77 years old, and the Saints of the old Baptist Church sang it when I was a child. Another line was ... "Oh, how praying helps the weary, Prayer can change the night to day" Would love the complete lyrics, if anyone recalls them. Thanx.

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?

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
