"Where could I go" -- the old song says,
"Where -- but to the Lord"?
The Lord doth save, the Bible says,
Find Him in His Word.
Hear His story, as He tells it,
Friends, be not deceived;
Up to His work -- O do not sit!
Do not just believe.
The devils believe, and tremble,
Friend, be not like they;
No matter how quick or nimble,
Comes the judgment day.
Our God doth give us time down here,
His Will to obey;
On that great day of dread and fear,
The lost hear Him say:
"Depart from me -- I know you not"
Oh, the saddest words;
"Depart from me" to darkest spot,
Oh, accept the Lord!
Our only hope is in His pow'r
In Him we find rest;
He never leaves -- through darkest hour,
Christ -- the blest, the blest
