Tune: | [Back to the cold world I will not go] |
Composer: | Elisha A. Hoffman |
1 Back to the cold world I will not go,
Back to the old paths of pain and woe,
Back to the old life of sin, O no!
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
I’ve found a life that is sweeter to me,
Sweeter with peace, from unhappiness free,
Fuller of joy than the old life could be;
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
Refrain:
Back to the cold world I will not go,
Back to the old paths of pain and woe,
Back to the old life of sin, O no!
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
2 Back on the night shrouded sea to die?
Back, where the breakers of sin toss on high?
Back, ’mid the billows of doubt? Not I!
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
I’ve found a life that is sweeter to me,
Sweeter with peace, from unhappiness free,
Fuller of joy than the old life could be;
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. [Refrain]
3 Back to the boon friends of former days,
Still walking on in their old, sinful ways?
Back with a message of love and grace;
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
I’ve found a life that is sweeter to me,
Sweeter with peace, from unhappiness free,
Fuller of joy than the old life could be;
I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. [Refrain]
