It's An Unfriendly World

Lord, I sometimes feel like a stranger here
 As I travel down life's road
 And nobody knows the sorrow I bear
 Or how heavy, heavy my load
 But in you, dear Lord, I have a precious friend
 And my faith looks up to Thee
 Let me rise and go, for this dreary world below
 Is an unfriendly world to me
 Here I wonder, like a beggar
 Through the heat and through the cold
 And my burden get so heavy
 Lord, my sorrows, they are untold
 But to Jesus, I am clinging
 Let me hide, dear Lord, in Thee
 For this old world and its sorrow
 It's an unfriendly world to me
 Keep me, Lord, I pray, and let your spirit guide
 While I find my homeward way
 As I tread life's valley, be my shining light
 Be my shepherd, Lord, be my stay
 Let me ever lean upon your guiding arm
 'Til the lights, lights at home I see
 Lord, I need your light for this world of sin and night
 It's an unfriendly world to me
 Here I wonder, like a beggar
 Through the heat and through the cold
 And my burden get so heavy
 Lord, my sorrows, they are untold
 But to Jesus, I am clinging
 Let me hide, dear Lord, in Thee
 For this old world with its sorrow
 It's an unfriendly world to me
 It's an unfriendly world to me
