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 !
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, [with me too !
But oh, may He lead you to go
3 I have a robe: 'tis resplendent in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering view ;
Oh, when I receive it all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, could I see you receiving one too !
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 oh, could I know it was given to you !
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 !
