On our first visit to Ireland, in 1874, we came across these words in a printed leaflet. It was the second hymn to which I wrote music [The Ninety and Nine was the first], and it was much used in our meetings in London. It has long been a favorite prayer-meeting hymn in many churches.
My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns, by Ira D. Sankey (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Sunday School Times Company, 1907).
I have a Savior, He's pleading in glory,
A dear, loving Savior though earth friends be few;
And now He is watching in tenderness over me;
And oh, that my Savior were your Savior, too.
Refrain
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.
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, oh, that He'd let me bring you with me, too!
Refrain
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!
Refrain
When Jesus has found you, tell others the story,
That my loving Savior is your Savior, too;
Then pray that your Savior may bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered-'twas answered for you!
Refrain
Speak of that Savior, that Father in heaven,
That harp, crown, and robe which are waiting for you-
That peace you possess, and that rest to be given,
Still praying that Jesus may save them with you.
Refrain
