New Songs of Pentecost ‎#0

0. I will Try to Make Someone Happy Today

1 I’ve a Saviour whom I love and fain would please,
And he asks that I shall kind and helpful be;
For He says “Whate’er ye do for one of these,
These my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Refrain:
I will try, I will try to make someone happy today,
By a kindly word or a helpful deed,
“For the Master’s sake” I’ll see a brother’s need;
And I’ll try, really try in an earnest sort of a way,
Yes, I’ll try, really try to make someone happy today.

2 There are those who do not know the love of God
Who have wander’d far away in paths of sin;
I can tell them of the road the Saviour trod,
And of how He died their precious souls to win. [Refrain]

3 I’ve a brother or a sister in my home,
Or there’s one who works beside me all the day;
If I seek a chance I have not far to roam,
For the kindly word the Saviour bids me say. [Refrain]
