Music & HymnsSomebody Else Needs A Blessing

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." Matthew 25:40

Words: Eliza Edmunds Stites Hewitt, circa 1917.

Music: Bentley DeForest Ackley

We're "counting" the blessings, our joys we record,
The wonderful mercies like sunbeams outpoured;
But let us remember while praising the Lord,
Somebody else needs a blessing.

Refrain

Somebody else needs a blessing,
Somebody else needs a blessing;
We'll let our lights shine to His glory divine,
Somebody else needs a blessing.

We'll go, like the Savior, to comfort the sad;
With love's healing portion we'll make others glad,
Until, with fresh verdure, life's deserts are clad;
Somebody else needs a blessing.

Refrain

We'll tell the old story again and again;
Salvation for sinners, good will unto men,
Till Gospel songs echo from mountain to glen;
Somebody else needs a blessing.

Refrain
