The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#141

141. Didst Thou, Dear Jesus, Pray for Me?

1 Didst Thou, dear Jesus, pray for me
In that dread night of old,
When Thou didst gather in farewell
Thy chosen little fold?

2 May I believe Thy love so great
Could compass even me,
When Thou didst plead in tender love
For all who trust in Thee?

3 Was there a place in Thy dear heart
For such a one as I;
And dost Thou still remember me
Before the throne on high?

4 O wondrous love beyond compare,
O mercy, full and free;
My heart shall e'er rejoice in this,
That Jesus prays for me!

Amen.
