Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #177a (1870) First Line: I have a Saviour,--he's pleading in glory Lyrics: 1 I have a Saviour--he’s pleading in glory,
So precious, tho' earthly enjoyments be few;
And now he is watching in tenderness o’er me;
But, oh, that my Saviour was your Saviour too!
Refrain:
For you I am praying--
I'm praying for you!
2 I have a Father--to me he has given
A hope for eternity, precious and true;
And soon will my spirit be with him in heaven;
But, oh, that he'd let me bring you with me too! [Refrain]
3 I have a robe--’tis resplendent in whiteness--
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;
Oh, when I'll receive it, all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, could I see you receiving one too! [Refrain]
4 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! [Refrain]
