Someone is trudging, weary and worn,
Along life’s rugged way;
Strength is fast failing, hope almost gone,
Feet are going astray;
Speak a kind word his lone heart to cheer;
Wipe from his eye the sorrowing tear;
Drive from his life the gloom and despair;
Lend him a hand today.
The winds are blowing wildly and chill,
Filling some heart with fear;
Someone is toiling long up a hill,
Under a load of care;
Someone’s tossing on life’s ocean-wave,
No one to pity, no one to save:
Rush, my brother, with heart true and brave,
Help their burdens to bear.
Be up and be doing while it is day;
Soon the long night will come.
Your life is fleeing swiftly away:
Soon ‘twill be past and gone.
Do what you can to help those in need;
Be a blessing by word or by deed;
Let “Living for Others” be ever your creed;
Heaven will give you a crown.
