1 No time to pray!
Oh, who so fraught with earthly care,
As not to give to humble pray’r
Some part of day.

2 No time to pray!
‘Mid each day’s dangers, what retreat
More needful than the mercy-seat?
Who must not pray?

3 What thought more drear
Than that our God his face should hide,
And say thro’ all life’s swelling tide,
Not time to hear!

4 Cease not to pray
On Jesus, as you all rely;
Would you live happy, happy die,
Take time to pray.
