Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Favorites Number 3 #83 (1951) First Line: Back to the cold world I will not go Refrain First Line: Back to the cold world I will not go Lyrics: 1 Back to the cold world I will not go, Back to the old paths of pain and woe, Back to the old life of sin, O no! I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. I’ve found a life that is sweeter to me, Sweeter with peace, from unhappiness free, Fuller of joy than the old life could be; I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. Refrain: Back to the cold world I will not go, Back to the old paths of pain and woe, Back to the old life of sin, O no! I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. 2 Back on the night shrouded sea to die? Back, where the breakers of sin toss on high? Back, ’mid the billows of doubt? Not I! I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. I’ve found a life that is sweeter to me, Sweeter with peace, from unhappiness free, Fuller of joy than the old life could be; I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. [Refrain] 3 Back to the boon friends of former days, Still walking on in their old, sinful ways? Back with a message of love and grace; I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus. I’ve found a life that is sweeter to me, Sweeter with peace, from unhappiness free, Fuller of joy than the old life could be; I’ve had a glimpse of Jesus.
