Sheet music
- 1Are you dwelling in the sunlight?Is your path with roses strewn?Do you walk with buoyant gladnessIn the steps that you have hewn?Have you reached the top of Pisgah,Climbing always firm and true?Don't forget that in the valleyThere is someone needing you,Lend a hand to help a brother(Lend a hand to help a brother)Who is striving hard and true,(Who is striving hard and true,)Don't forget that in the valley(Don't forget that in the valley)There is someone needing you.(There is someone needing you, needing you.)
- 2Is your day one round of pleasure,From the morn till set of sun?Know you not of pain or sorrow?Are your victories all won?Lend a hand to help your brother,Who is struggling hard and true,Don't forget that in the valleyThere is someone needing you,Lend a hand to help a brother(Lend a hand to help a brother)Who is striving hard and true,(Who is striving hard and true,)Don't forget that in the valley(Don't forget that in the valley)There is someone needing you.(There is someone needing you, needing you.)
- 3Sweet it is to dwell in sunlight,Where the shadows never rise,Where the balmy, wafting breezesKiss the blue, o'er-hanging skies;But there's always in the shadowSome poor mortal, brave and true,Don't forget that in the valleyThere is someone needing you,Lend a hand to help a brother(Lend a hand to help a brother)Who is striving hard and true,(Who is striving hard and true,)Don't forget that in the valley(Don't forget that in the valley)There is someone needing you.(There is someone needing you, needing you.)
