I Need the Prayers of Those I Love

Verse 1

I need the prayers of those I love, I need the sweet, sweet feeling, That suit for me is urged above, Whene’er dear friends are kneeling. Amid life’s cares I need the prayers, I need the prayers of those I love: Amid life’s cares I need the prayers, I need the prayers of those I love.

Verse 2

Of those I love the prayers I need, They know my wants and ailings; They know the way to intercede For all my faults and failings. On bended knee remember me; Of those I love the prayers I need: On bended knee remember me; Of those I love the prayers I need.

Verse 3

Of those I love I need the prayers, Whene’er God’s throne addressing; ‘Twill keep my feet from sins and snares, ‘Twill break in showers of blessing. Who love me yet, oh, ne’er forget, Of those I love I need the prayers: Who love me yet, oh, ne’er forget, Of those I love I need the prayers.
