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. 2 I need the prayers of those I love, To help me in each trying hour, To bear my tempted sould to Him, That He may keep me by His pow’r. Refrain 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.
