FOR YOU,

By Sel.

I HAVE a Saviour—he’s pleading in 'glory— So precious, though earthly enjoyments be few; And now he is watching in tenderness o’er me, But oh, that my Saviour were your Saviour too! For you I am praying—I’m praying for you.
I have a rest,—and the earnest is given, Though now for a time ’t is concealed from my view; ’T is life everlasting—’t is Jesus—’t is Heaven; And, O dearest friend, let me meet you there too! For you I am praying—I’m praying for you.
I have a peace—and it’s calm as a river— A peace that the friend of the world never knew; My Saviour alone is its Author and Giver: But oh, could I know it was given to you! For you I am praying—I’m praying for you.
And when he has found you, tell others the story, How Jesus extended his mercy to you; Then point them away to the regions of glory, And pray that your Saviour may bring them there too. For prayer will be answered—’t was answered for you. —Sel.
