Songs of the Saints ‎#87

87. It's an unfriendly world

1 Lord, I sometimes feel just like a stranger here,
As I travel down life's road, and nobody knows the sorrow that I bear,
Or how heavy my load; but in thee, dear Lord,
I have a precious friend, and my faith looks up to Thee,
Let me rise and go, for this dreary world below,
It's an unfriendly world to me.

Refrain:
Here I wander, like a beggar, thru the heat and the cold,
And my burdens are so heavy Lord, my sorrow's untold,
But to Jesus I am clinging, let me hide, Lord, in Thee,
For this old world with its sorrow, is an unfriendly world to me.

2 There are times when disappointments hover round,
And the way seems dark and long,
But the thought of Heaven and a shining crown,
Keeps me singing a song;
I've no other friend to lead me, blessed Lord,
So I daily cling to Thee, Keep me lest I stray,
From the straight and narrow way,
It's an unfriendly world to me. [Refrain]
