11816. Somebody Cares

1 Never alone in this earthly way,
Somebody cares, somebody cares;
I have a helper each busy day,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus.
Somebody cares when the clouds hang low,
Cares when my heart is o’erwhelmed with woe;
Cares and is marking my path below,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus.

Refrain:
Somebody cares for me,
Somebody cares for me;
In all my life His kind hand I see,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus.

2 When I am singing a happy song,
Somebody cares, somebody cares;
When I am fighting against the wrong,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus;
Somebody cares when I stand alone,
Cares when the pleasures of earth are gone;
Cares when my false hopes with wings have flown,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus. [Refrain]

3 When I am weary and long for rest,
Somebody cares, somebody cares;
When by the tempter I’m sorely pressed,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus;
Somebody cares, and whate’er betide,
Walks every hour by the Christian’s side;
Love so amazing will e’er abide,
Somebody cares, ’tis Jesus. [Refrain]
