I’m a-living below in this old sinful world,
Hardly a comfort can I afford,
Striving below to face temptation’s woes.
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Chorus: Where could I go, where could I go,
Seeking a rescue for my soul?
Needing a friend to save me in the end,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Neighbors are kind; I love them every one.
We get along in sweet record [sic].
Oh, when we face that chilly hand of death,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

(Chorus)
