 '''No. 87. Hard Trials.'''

1. The foxes have holes in the ground, The birds have nests in the air, The Christians have a hiding-place, But we poor sinners have none;

Now ain't them hard trials, tribulations? ain't them hard trials? I'm going to live with God!

2. Old Satan tempted Eve, And Eve, she tempted Adam; And that's why the sinner has to pray so hard To get his sins forgiven.

3. Oh, Methodist, Methodist is my name, Methodist till I die; I'll be baptized on the Methodist side, And a Methodist will I die.

4. Oh, Baptist, Baptist is my name, Baptist till I die; I'll be baptized on the Baptist side, And a Baptist will I die.

5. While marching on the road, A hunting for a home, You had better stop your different names, And travel on to God.
