Author: S. O'Malley Clough Hymnal: Christian Hymns #105 (1935) First Line: I have a Saviour, he's pleading in glory Refrain First Line: For you I am praying 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,
But 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 that he’d let me bring you 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 friends, 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 know;
My Saviour alone is its Author and Giver,
And O could I know it was given to you! [Chorus]
5 When Jesus saves you, tell others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your Saviour too;
Then pray that your Saviour may bring them to glory,
And pray'r will be answered--'twas answered for you! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have a Saviour, he's pleading in glory]
I Am Praying for You
