There Is Always Time for Prayer

Should the new dawn break­ing a bur­den bring

That your soul deems hard to bear

Seek a boon of grace for a lit­tle space;

There is al­ways time for pray­er.

There is al­ways time in the morn­ing’s prime

And the gold­en noon­tide fair;

There is al­ways time ’neath the ev­en chime

There is al­ways time for pray­er.

With a lift of heart let the day be­gin

And a mo­ment res­pite spare

Ere you press along with the toil­ing throng;

There is al­ways time for pray­er.

When your weary feet fal­ter on the path

Tho’ to pause you do not dare

Would you find the stress of the noon grow less?

There is al­ways time for pray­er.

When the late night dies with the sett­ing sun

Would you taste a balm for care?

With a lift of heart let the day de­part;

There is al­ways time for pray­er.
