223. I Am Praying for You

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 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]

4 When Jesus saves you, tell others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your Saviour, too;
Then pray that your Saviour may bring them to glory,
And pray'r will be answer'd--'twas answer'd for you! [Chorus]
