171. I've Had A Glimpse Of Jesus

Back to the cold world I will not go, back to the old paths of pain and of 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. Back to the cold world I will not go, back to the old paths of pain and of woe, Back to the old life of sin, O no!  I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.

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. Back to the cold world I will not go, back to the old paths of pain and of woe, Back to the old life of sin, O no!  I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.

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. Back to the cold world I will not go, back to the old paths of pain and of woe, Back to the old life of sin, O no!  I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
