I need the prayers of those I love

by James D. Vaiighan (1864–1941)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 505.

Verse 1

I need the prayers of those I love, While trav’ling o’er life’s rugged way, That I may true and faithful be, And live for Jesus every day.

Refrain

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.

Verse 2

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 pow’r.

Verse 3

I want my friends to pray for me, To hold me up on wing of faith, That I may walk the narrow way, Kept by our Father’s glorious grace.
