Lyrics

Let us do some­thing for oth­ers,
Moments are pass­ing away;
Jesus will bless all those in dis­tress,
If they come to­day;
O, there are ma­ny about us,
Living in dark­ness and sin
That we could help to the Sav­ior,
Life and its bless­ings to win!

Refrain

Help them, help them,
That they their Sav­ior may see;
Help them, help them—
What a rejoic­ing there’ll be!
And when our war­fare is ov­er,
We shall with loved ones sit down,
Sharing the glo­ries of Hea­ven,
Wearing a beau­ti­ful crown.

Refrain

O we can find, if we’re ear­nest,
Many in need of our care,
And we can light those liv­ing in night,
Lured by Sa­tan’s snare!
Let us not go emp­ty hand­ed
Unto our Sav­ior and Lord,
And we’ll not be dis­ap­point­ed,
When we re­ceive our re­ward.

Refrain

Let us keep pray­ing and help­ing
Others as con­qu’rers to rise;
Jesus de­mands true hearts, will­ing hands,
May we then be wise;
And when our work here is end­ed,
Safe on the hea­ven­ly shore,
With those we’ve helped to the Sav­ior,
Joy shall be ours ev­er­more.

Refrain
