Representative Text

1 Somebody cares when the way grows long,
When weary at heart, and sad;
What tho’ your troubles around you throng,
The Saviour will make you glad.

Refrain:
Somebody cares, somebody cares,
‘Tis Jesus, your Friend so true;
Somebody cares, do not despair,
Somebody cares for you.

2 Somebody cares when you feel afraid,
With no one to help or cheer;
Look unto Christ, He will give you aid;
Jesus is always near. [Refrain]

3 Somebody cares, ‘tis the Lord of all,
Who came down from heav’n above;
Never in vain is your feeble call
To reach His great heart of love. [Refrain]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
