274. I Have A Saviour

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.

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 with me, too.

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.

To me has been given a peace like a river;
A peace that the friends of this world never knew;
And Christ is the Author, and Christ is the Giver,
And O that his peace might be given to you.

When Jesus has found you, tell others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your Saviour too;
Then that your Saviour will bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered, ‘twas answered for you
