Let Us Cheer and Help Each Other

Author: Geo. O. Webster Hymnal: Hymns for Today #173 (1920) Refrain First Line: It is what our Lord would do Lyrics: 1 Let us cheer and help each other, On our pilgrim way; Let us hearten one another, Thru the toilsome day. Let us prove a friend or brother Wheresoe’er we may, It is what our Lord would do. Chorus: It is what our Lord would do, This He asks of me, of you; Let us each to each be true, be true, As our Lord would do. 2 There are those who sit in sorrow, Sing a song of cheer; Those who grief and trouble borrow, Drive away their fear. Tell them clouds will life tomorrow, And the skies will clear; It is what our Lord would do. [Chorus] 3 Let us go where duty leads us, Be it far or near; Knowing that the Father heeds us, Neither doubt nor fear. When or wheresoe’er He needs us, Let us answer: “Here;” It is what our Lord would do. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Let us cheer and help each other]
