1 Living below

In this old sinful world

Hardly a comfort can afford;

Striving alone to face temptation sore,

Where could I go but to the Lord?

 

[Refrain]

Where could I go?

O where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul?

Needing a friend to save me in the end,

Where could I go but to the Lord?

 

2 Neighbors 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? [Refrain]

 

3 Life here is grand

With friends I love so dear,

Comfort I get from God’s own Word;

Yet when I face

The chilling hand of death,

Where could I go but to the Lord? [Refrain]
