Somebody Did a Kind Deed Today

lyricist: Sarah Wright, 1906
Composer: A. F. Loud, 1908

Somebody did a kind deed to­day

Was it you? Was it you?

Somebody sent a kind thought on its way

Was it you? Was it you?

Somebody spoke a lov­ing word

That an an­swer­ing chord in a hard heart stirred

Recalling a long lost voice

once heard.

Was it you? Was it you?

Somebody helped an err­ing one’s feet

Was it you? Was it you?

The path of vir­tue and truth to keep;

Was it you? Was it you?

Whispered of peace and sins for­giv­en

Of a bet­ter life and a hope of Heav­en;

And the chains that bound his soul were riv­en;

Was it you? Was it you?

Somebody rest­ed a tired one

Was it you? Was it you?

Who had toiled all day till the set­ting sun;

Was it you? Was it you?

Finished for him the task half done

Encouraged his heart for the days to come

And told of vic­to­ries yet to be won.

Was it you? Was it you?
