Someone Is Praying for You

Pilgrims of earth on your jour­ney thro’ life

Joyous in free­dom

or wea­ry with strife

Tidings we bring you

sweet mes­sage so true:

Someone who loves you is pray­ing for you.

Praying for you

pray­ing for you

Pleading with Heav­en that you may be true;

Where’er you may go

and what­e’er you may do

Someone who loves you is pray­ing for you.

Is it a fa­ther

his form bowed with care?

Bending ’neath bur­dens that some­one should share

Working and hop­ing with heart ev­er true

Patiently trust­ing

and pray­ing for you.

Is it a mo­ther

with sil­ve­ry hair?

Steps slow and fee­ble

the form once so fair

Keeping love’s lamp trimmed and burn­ing so true

Waiting for Heav­en

and pray­ing for you.

Is it a sist­er

a bro­ther

or friend?

Sharing life’s bur­dens and true to the end

Thro’ storm and sun­shine with skies dark or blue

Someone who loves you is pray­ing for you.

Jesus is wait­ing to wel­come you home

Tenderly call­ing tho’ far you may roam;

Come to the Sav­ior so lov­ing and true

Still there is mer­cy and par­don for you.
