Author: Mary Ella Cornell Hymnal: NSoP1916 #0 (1916) Person Name: Mary Ella Cornell First Line: I've a Saviour whom I love and fain would please Refrain First Line: I will try, I will try to make someone happy today Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [I’ve a Savior whom I love and fain would please]
I will Try to Make Someone Happy Today
