Let us pray for one another

Author: David H. Smith, 1844-1904 Hymnal: The Hymnal #98 (1956) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Let us pray for one another, For the day is fading fast And the night is growing darker, While the scourge goes flaming past; We can see it in the darkness closing round our narrow way, And the snares are growing thicker: For each other let us pray. 2 We are walking down time's vista; We are very near the end; Let us pray that God, the Father, Will his guiding Spirit send. Now the foe becomes more daring, Knowing well the latter day; 'Tis the strength of his despairing; For each other let us pray. 3 Pray in faith, and pray unceasing, To the god we love and trust, For our prayers are much availing If we walk upright and just; Be not weary of exhorting; Heed the lesson of each day; And that we may be unwavering, For each other let us pray. 4 It is waning on toward midnight; Soon we'll hear the watchman say, "See, the Son of God is coming; Go and meet him on the way!" That our lamps may then be burning Bright enough to guide our way, And that we may share his glory, For each other let us pray.
