I believe I was born at a good time in history. I love the “old” hymns of the Church, especially the Evangelistic hymns from about 1860 forward to the early 1950’s. This is another one my Dad enjoyed singing. I have referenced a YouTube posting so you can listen to this yourself. I like the tempo of this performance. I am unsure at this time who wrote the music, but I suspect it was by the people who wrote the lyrics.
SOMEBODY LOVES ME (1940) Key: Eb 4/4
Words By: Marjorie Crumley, Tom Fettke, W F Crumley
Music by: ?
1. I’m in love with my Savior and He’s in love with me,
He is with me from day to day, what a friend is He,
Watches over me while I sleep, hears me when I pray,
I’m as happy as I can be, and I now can say:
He is with me from day to day, what a friend is He,
Watches over me while I sleep, hears me when I pray,
I’m as happy as I can be, and I now can say:
Refrain:
Somebody loves me, answers my prayers,
I love Somebody, I know He cares;
Somebody tells me not to repine,
That Somebody is Jesus, and I know He’s mine.
Somebody loves me, answers my prayers,
I love Somebody, I know He cares;
Somebody tells me not to repine,
That Somebody is Jesus, and I know He’s mine.
2. You’ll be happy if you will let Jesus have His way,
He has work for us all to do every passing day;
Feed the hungry and cheer the sad, for the sinner pray;
You’ll have joy that you never had, and you then can say:
He has work for us all to do every passing day;
Feed the hungry and cheer the sad, for the sinner pray;
You’ll have joy that you never had, and you then can say:
3. Then at last when our work is done, He will call us home,
To a mansion He has prepared, nevermore to roam;
We’ll sit down by the riverside, cares all passed away,
And with never a pain to bear, what a happy day.
To a mansion He has prepared, nevermore to roam;
We’ll sit down by the riverside, cares all passed away,
And with never a pain to bear, what a happy day.
