I Need the Prayers

I need the pray­ers of those I love

While tra­vel­ing o’er life’s rug­ged way

That I may true and faith­ful be

And live for Je­sus ev­ery day.

I want my friends to pray for me

To bear my tempt­ed soul above

And in­ter­cede with God for me;

I need the pray­ers of those I love.

I need the pray­ers of those I love

To help me in each try­ing hour

To bear my tempt­ed soul to Him

That He may keep me by His pow­er.

I want my friends to pray for me

To hold me up on wings of faith

That I may walk the nar­row way

Kept by our Fa­ther’s glo­ri­ous grace.
