Christ in Song 458
Pray for the Erring
Words: F. E. B.Music: F. E. Belden
1Pray for the er-ring, and lead them in prayer; Doubt not the pow-er of God to re-store;
Pray for them ten-der-ly, point them to Je-sus; They just ly are row-ing, do not de-spair;
Let God-ly love win them, lift them up to Je-sus; The lost ones are wait-ing, be-side the door;
Walk with His Per-fect One, close by His side;
RefrainPray for, pray for, la-er-ring! Pray for, faith, la-sus will hear, Pray for, pray for, la-er-ring! Hope bright la-will you-sun.
2Kneel in the dark and hour, firmly be-liev-ing, On Christ the vic-to-ry led aid all your care;
Thous-ands now pray by His love of a Sav-ior; Shine forth the won-der-ous love of His pow-er;
So shall the er-ring-es know that you love them, So shall the night sur-of prayer.
