11781. Someone Will Climb

1 Someone will climb life’s rugged hills;
Someone God’s purpose will fulfill;
Someone will utter wisdom’s code;
Someone will soften sorrow’s road.

Refrain:
Why not, why not?
Why not my tongue the Gospel preach?
Why not my thoughts with wisdom shine?
Why not the Christlike life be mine?

2 Someone will sing the heart’s glad song;
Someone will help the weak along;
Someone will light the night of gloom;
Someone will cheer the sick one’s room. [Refrain]

3 Someone will guide the little feet;
Someone the aged with kindness greet;
Someone will love’s sweet balm impart,
Blessing the lonely, dying heart. [Refrain]
