Something For Christ

Author: Anna M. Miller Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13626 First Line: Something for Christ, some soul to win Lyrics: 1 Something for Christ, some soul to win From the downward path of woe and sin— Some heart to cheer, some fear to quell; Oh, may each day some blessing tell. Refrain: Something for Christ, Something for Christ, Something for Christ. 2 Something for Christ, someone to guide To the open fount at the Savior’s side; With earnest zeal to tell of Him Something each day who saves from sin. [Refrain] 3 Something for Christ, some word of love To point the way to Heav’n above, That all, O Lord, may feel and see That we each day have been with Thee. [Refrain] 4 Something for Christ—let us begin This day, this hour, some word for Him— The fields are white, the laborers few. Whate’er Thy will, Lord, help us do. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Something for Christ, some soul to win]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Something for Christ, some soul to win]" in The Cyber Hymnal William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
