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]
