I am trying to find the correct title and lyrics for a song that has the following lines.
If I can help somebody My living shall not be in vain.

This song was sung by Glen Payne. I might be able to find the words if no one else can come up with them.

Here are the words for "If I can help somebody"

IF I CAN HELP SOMEBODY, AS I PASS ALONG
IF I CAN CHEER SOMEBODY, WITH A WORD OR SONG,
IF I CAN SHOW SOMEBODY, HE IS TRAVELLING WRONG
THEN MY LIVING SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN

CHORUS:

THEN MY LVING SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN-----
THEN MY LIVING SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN
IF I CAN HELP SOMEBODY, AS I PASS ALONG,
THEN MY LIVING SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN,

IF I CAN DO MY DUTY. AS ALL MEN OUGHT
IF I CAB BRING THAT DUTY TO A WORLD THATS LOST
IF I CAN SPREAD A LOVE MESSAGE, THAT THE MASTER TAUGHT
THEN MY LIVING SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

HOPE THIS HELPS---GOD BLESS!!

This song by Glen Payne is in one of the Gaither Homecoming Songbooks, possibly 7, 8 or 9.
