Tune:[When we come with burdened souls]
Composer:Jno. R. Sweney

228. Shall We Pray for You?

1 When we come with burdened souls
And before our Father bow,
Shall we pray for you, dear friend?
Shall we plead for you just now?

Refrain:
Shall we pray for you?
While our heart petitions blend,
Coming in the Saviour’s name,
Shall we pray for you, dear friend?

2 Shall we ask a living faith,
And a new and better heart?
That the Holy spirit now
May renewing grace impart? [Refrain]

3 Are you willing we should know
That you long for peace within?
Do you seek the Lord indeed,
And the power that saves from sin? [Refrain]

4 Come and join us in our prayer;
Low before the Saviour bow;
While he waits to hear your voice,
Give yourself to Jesus now. [Refrain]
