Somewhere, says a mother,
My darling is dwelling,
I've watched for my boy
'Til my eyes have grown dim;
His sins and temptations
I would not be telling,
Christ only can save him,
Oh, pray, pray for him.

Oh, pray for him now,
Oh, pray for him now.
Christ only can save him,
Oh, pray, pray for him now.

Somewhere in his office,
A husband is writing
The trials of business
Have wrinkled his brow,
The spirit's entreaties
He long has been fighting;
His wife says, dear Christian friend
Pray for him now.

Oh, pray for him now,
Oh, pray for him now.
Christ only can save him,
Oh, pray, pray for him now.

Somewhere in the wide world
A sister or brother
May now be reclaimed
From the broad downward way,
A soul is in danger,
Child, father or mother,
Oh, slumber no longer,
Arise, work and pray.

Arise, work and pray,
Arise, work and pray,
Oh, slumber no longer,
Arise, work and pray.
