E173. I have a Saviour, He's Pleading in Glory

1 I have a Saviour, He's pleading in glory,
A dear, loving Saviour, tho' earth friends be few;
And now He is watching in tenderness o'er me,
And oh, that my Saviour were your Saviour too!

Chorus:
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.

2 I have a Father: to me He has given
A hope for eternity blessed and true:
And soon will He call me to meet Him in heaven,
But oh, that He'd let me bring you with me too! [Chorus]

3 I have a robe: 'tis resplendent in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;
Oh, when I receive it all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, could I would see you receiving one too! [Chorus]

4 I have a peace: it is calm as a river--
A peace that the friends of this world never knew:
My Saviour alone is its Author and Giver,
And oh, could I know it was given to you! [Chorus]

5 When He has found you, tell others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your Saviour too;
Then pray that your Saviour may bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered--'twas answered for you! [Chorus]
