I Will Pray

1

Father, in the morning Unto Thee I pray; 

Let Thy lovingkindness Keep me thru this day.

2 

At the busy noontide, pressed with work and care, 

Then I’ll wait with Jesus, till He hears my pray’r.

3

When the evening shadows chase away the light, 

Father, then I’ll pray Thee, bless Thy child tonight.

4

Thus in life’s glad morning, in its bright noonday, 

In the shadowy evening, ever will I pray.

Chorus

I will pray, I will pray, ever will I pray; 

Morning, noon and evening unto Thee I’ll pray.

 

Lyricist Cummings, A.

The lyrics of this song remind me of the story of the prophet Daniel in the lion's den. The whole story can be found in the Bible book of Daniel, chapter 6.

13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 

And that reminds me of a couple of my favorite songs --

In His Care-o, arranged by William L. Dawson (we sang this in my college choir)
