Refrain: Somebody cares for me, Somebody cares for me, In all my life His kind hand I see, Somebody cares, ‘tis Jesus. 2 When I am singing a happy song, Somebody cares, Somebody cares; When I am fighting against the wrong, Somebody cares, ‘tis Jesus; Somebody cares when I stand alone, Cares when the pleasures of earth are gone, Cares when my false hopes with wings have flown, Somebody cares, ‘tis Jesus. [Refrain] 3 When I am weary and long for rest, Somebody cares, Somebody cares; When by the tempter I’m sorely press’d, Somebody cares, ‘tis Jesus; Somebody cares, and whate’er betide, Walks ev’ry hour by the Christian’s side, Love so amazing will e’er abide, Somebody cares, ‘tis Jesus.

Rob­lin (a an­a­gram of his name) ================ Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks.
