HYMN : Come to the morning pray'r | Wa s’adura ooro

ENGLISH LYRICS

Evening and morning and at noon will I pray. Ps. 55:17

1.  Come to the morning pray'r,

    Come, let us kneel and pray;

    Pray'r is the Christian pilgrim's staff

    To walk with God all day.

2. At noon beneath the Rock of ages rest and pray;

    Sweet is the shadow from the heat

    When the sun smites by day.

3. At eve shut to the door

    Round the home-altar pray,

    And finding there the house of God

    At heav'n's gate close the day.

4. When mid-night seals our eyes,

    Let each in spirit say,

    I sleep, but my heart, waketh, Lord,

    With Thee to watch and pray.

Amen.
