Author: W. H. Woodall Hymnal: Light and Life #76 (1881) First Line: There's work for the hand, and there's work for the heart Refrain First Line: Work for the aged and work for the young Lyrics: 1 There's work for the hand, and there's work for the heart, Something to do, something to do, And each should be busy performing his part, Something to do, something to do.
