Hymn 138

Living below in this old sinful world

J. B. Coats

Verse 1

Living below in this old sinful world,

Hardly a comfort can afford;

Striving alone to face temptations sore,

Where could I go but to the Lord!

Chorus

Where could I go? Oh, where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul?

Needing a friend to help me to the end:

Where could I go but to the Lord!

Verse 2

Neighbours are kind, I love them every one,

We get along in sweet accord;

But when my soul needs manna from above,

Where could I go but to the Lord!

Chorus

Where could I go? Oh, where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul?

Needing a friend to help me to the end:

Where could I go but to the Lord!

Verse 3

Life here is grand with friends I Iove so dear,

Comfort I get from God’s word;

Yet when I face the chilling hand of death,

Where could I go but to the Lord!

Chorus

Where could I go? Oh, where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul?

Needing a friend to help me to the end:

Where could I go but to the Lord!
