Author: S. O. Malley Cluff Hymnal: International Song Service #110 (1895) First Line: I have a Saviour, He's pleading in glory Lyrics: 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 O 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 He will call me to meet Him in heaven;
But O, may He lead you to go with me too! [Chorus]
3 I have a robe; 'tis resplendent in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;
O, when I receive it all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, could I see you receiving one too! [Chorus]
4 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 O, could I know it was given to you! [Chorus]
5 When Jesus 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! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
