This is a question that we should ask ourselves every day: "Have I done any good in the world today?" Have we helped someone in need or lightened some else's burden? Were we there when someone needed us? If not, perhaps we have "failed, indeed," as this hymn reminds us. This new setting of the hymn uses a robust gospel tune called SAINTS BOUND FOR HEAVEN. That should remind us that service to others is the true pathway to heaven, as Christ demonstrated during his life on Earth.
If you would like to sing this hymn with your choir, the music is FREE here.
