Author: G. F. R. Appears in 1 hymnal Refrain First Line: Then live, oh, live, the Christian's life Lyrics: 1 If this were the only world,
And this were the only life,
Still right would be better far than wrong,
And love would be better than strife.
Refrain:
Then live, oh, live the Christian’s life,
Whatever may betide,
But oh! be sure, be sure there’ll be
Eternity beside.
2 If there were no bliss beyond,
No infinite peace and rest,
The joy of the Christian here on earth,
Would still be the truest and best. [Refrain]
3 If there were no shad’wy vale,
No boding of judgment and doom,
Still sin would embitter all our lives,
And sadden our way to the tomb. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [If this were the only world]
If this were the Only World
