To help them along in the heavenly way;
A “living epistle” are you for God,
A witness for Jesus the glorified Lord.
Refrain:
Do something for somebody ev’ry day,
Go scatter some blessing along life’s way;
Give help to thy neighbor, be watchful, pray;
Do something for somebody ev’ry day,
2 Do something for somebody ev’ry day,
The one by your side may be far from life’s way;
Then bring him to Jesus this very hour,
His love has redeem’d you, go tell of his pow’r. [Refrain]
3 Do something for somebody ev’ry day,
You may not do much, you can speak, you can pray;
Whatever is done for the blessed Lord,
Sometime, ‘tis his promise, receives a reward. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Do something for somebody every day]

Civilla D. Martin
1866 - 1948 Person Name: Mrs. C. D. Martin Author of "Do Something for Somebody" in New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 Martin, Civilla Durfee (Jordan Falls, Nova Scotia, August 21, 1866--March 9, 1948, Atlanta, Georgia). Daughter of James N. and Irene (Harding) Holden. She married Rev. John F. Geddes, Congregational minister of Coventryvilee, N.Y. at Jordan Falls Methodist Church, Shelbourne Co., Nova Scotia, on May 19, 1891. There is thus far no information about their marriage and its end. After several years of teaching school, she married Walter Stillman Martin, a Baptist minister, and traveled with him in evangelistic work. However, because of frail health, she was compelled to remain home much of the time. In 1916, they became members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They had one son, A.G. Martin. In her writing, she used only her initials, "C.D." rather than her full name of that of her composer-husband. She is reputed to have written several hundred hymns and religious songs. Her first one, "God Will Take Care of You," written in 1904 became world-famous. Her husband wrote the music for this and many of her other hymns. "His Eye is on the Sparrow" written in 1906 and set to music by Charles H. Gabriel, has also received wide acclaim. In addition to the above, "Like As A Father," "A Welcome for Me," and "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" are among her better-known hymns.
Her husband and collaborator, W.S. Martin (1862-1935) preceded her in death. For the last 29 years of her life, she made her home in Atlanta, Georgia, where she was a member of the First Christian Church. Her funeral was held on March 10, 1948 at Spring Hill and the interment was in the West View Cemetery in Atlanta.
