429. I Am Praying for You

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

Refrain:
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! [Refrain]

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 for you! [Refrain]

4 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! [Refrain]
