The Good Samaritan
Jose T. Baro (1836–1913)

Look all around you, find some­one in need,
Help some­bo­dy today!
Though it be lit­tle—a neigh­bor­ly deed—
Help some­bo­dy today!

Refrain

Help some­bo­dy to­day,
Somebody along life’s way;
Let sor­row be end­ed,
The friend­less be­friend­ed,
O help some­bo­dy to­day!

Many are wait­ing a kind, lov­ing word,
Help some­bo­dy to­day!
Thou hast a mes­sage, O let it be heard,
Help some­bo­dy to­day!

Refrain

Many have bur­dens too hea­vy to bear,
Help some­bo­dy to­day!
Grief is the por­tion of some ev­ery­where,
Help some­bo­dy to­day!

Refrain

Some are dis­cour­aged and wea­ry in heart,
Help some­bo­dy to­day!
Someone the jour­ney to Hea­ven should start,
Help some­bo­dy to­day!
