<p>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 [<a href = "./hymns/hymns_html/htm_n_i_90_and_9.html">The Ninety and Nine</a> 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.</p>

<p>I have a Savior, He&#8217;s pleading in glory,<br>
A dear, loving Savior though earth friends be few;<br>
And now He is watching in tenderness over me;<br>
And oh, that my Savior were your Savior, too.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">For you I am praying,<br>
For you I am praying,<br>
For you I am praying,<br>
I&#8217;m praying for you.</p>
<p>I have a Father; to me He has given<br>
A hope for eternity, blessed and true;<br>
And soon He will call me to meet Him in heaven,<br>
But, oh, that He&#8217;d let me bring you with me, too!</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>I have a robe; &#8217;tis resplendent in whiteness,<br>
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;<br>
Oh, when I receive it all shining in brightness,<br>
Dear friend, could I see you receiving one, too!</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>When Jesus has found you, tell others the story,<br>
That my loving Savior is your Savior, too;<br>
Then pray that your Savior may bring them to glory,<br>
And prayer will be answered&#8212;&#8217;twas answered for you!</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Speak of that Savior, that Father in heaven,<br>
That harp, crown, and robe which are waiting for you&#8212;<br>
That peace you possess, and that rest to be given,<br>
Still praying that Jesus may save them with you.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
