Let Someone Else

Let some­one else! you oft­en say

When asked to serve the Lord;

And some­one else

when life is o’er

Will reap a rich re­ward.

Oh

some­one else is do­ing the work

That you for God should do;

And some­one else will be wear­ing the crown

That God had meant for you.

Let some­one else speak forth the word

To save a soul from sin;

That some­one else

when Je­sus comes

A crown of life will win.

Oh

some­one else is do­ing the work

That you for God should do;

And some­one else will be wear­ing the crown

That God had meant for you.

Let some­one else go forth

you say

To lands be­yond the seas;

While you re­main at home and take

Your com­fort and your ease.

Oh

some­one else is do­ing the work

That you for God should do;

And some­one else will be wear­ing the crown

That God had meant for you.

Oh

nev­er let your lips again

Those thought­less words re­peat;

But pray that grace to you be giv’n

To serve at Je­sus’ feet.

Then no one else will do the work

That you for God should do;

And no one else will be wear­ing the crown

That God has kept for you.
