Back to the Cold World I Will Not Go { Back to the Cold World I Will Not Go A GLIMPSE OF JESUS-Elisha Albright Hoffman Back to the Cold World I Will Not Go } 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. Chorus 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. 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. 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.
