When you at the foot­stool of mer­cy
Are send­ing to Hea­ven your plea,
Remember in your in­ter­ces­sion
To of­fer a pray­er, too, for me.

Refrain

Pray for me, pray for me,
Wherever on earth you may be.
For, O it will help in the bat­tle of life
To know you are pray­ing for me.

What tho’ we may part far asun­der,
Divided by land and by sea,
I know I’ll have hea­ven­ly bless­ings
If you will keep pray­ing for me.

Refrain

I ask not a leng­thy pe­ti­tion,
But yet when upon bend­ed knee,
’Twill com­fort me much on life’s jour­ney
To think you are pray­ing for me.

Refrain

Until we shall meet ov­er yon­der,
Our king and Re­deem­er to see,
For you, my dear friends, I’ll keep pray­ing,
While you are all pray­ing for me.
