Lankton Hymnal: On Joyful Wing #57 (1886) First Line: Pray for the fallen! oh, think of them kindly Refrain First Line: Pray for them earnestly, pray for them faithfully Lyrics: 1 Pray for the fallen! oh, think of them kindly, Take them to Jesus, his mercy implore; Though they have wandered, and sad their condition, Prayer and our efforts their souls may restore. Refrain: Pray for them earnestly, pray for them faithfully, Prayers will be answered through Jesus’ dear name; Pray for them fervently, loving, and tenderly,— Prayer and our efforts the lost may reclaim. 2 Pray for the fallen! oh, do not forsake them, Slaves to the tempter who laughs at their pain; Fast in the fetters he forged to deceive them, Pity and help them again and again. [Refrain] 3 Pray for the fallen, the world has renounced them! Keen are its glances, its censure is cold; Yet the dear Saviour will gently receive them, He will not turn them away from his fold. [Refrain] 4 Pray for the erring! oh, think of them kindly They are our neighbors, though far they have strayed; They are our brothers: go forth to their rescue! Give them our friendship, our comfort, our aid. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Pray for the fallen! oh, think of them kindly]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Pray for the fallen! oh, think of them kindly]" in On Joyful Wing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
