Where Should I Be, If God Should Say
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8726 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Where should I be, if God should say,
I must not live another day;
And send and take away my breath;
What is eternity and death?
2 My body is of little worth,
’Twould soon be mingled with the earth;
For we were made of clay, and must
Again, at death, return to dust.
3 But where my living soul would go
I do not, and I cannot know;
For none were e’er sent back to tell
The joys of Heaven, or pains of hell.
4 Yet, Heav’n must be a world of bliss
Where God Himself for ever is:
Where saints around His throne adore,
And never sin or suffer more.
5 And hell’s a state of endless woe,
Where unrelenting sinners go;
Though none that seek the Savior’s grace
Shall ever see that dreadful place.
6 O! let me then at once apply
To Him who did for sinners die;
And this shall be my great reward—
To dwell for ever with the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: DEPAUW

Author of "Where Should I Be, If God Should Say" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
