|
|
Two coats were before me
|
And old and a new
|
I asked my sweet Master
|
Oh what must I do
|
|
The old coat was ugly
|
So tattered and torn
|
The other a new one
|
Had never been worn
|
|
I'll tell you the best thing
|
I ever did do
|
I took off the old coat
|
And put on the new
|
|
The first man was earthly
|
And made from the ground
|
We bore all his image
|
The whole world around
|
|
The next was my Savior
|
From heaven so fair
|
He brought me this new coat
|
You now see me wear
|
|
I'll tell you the best thing
|
I ever did do
|
I took off the old coat
|
And put on the new
|
|
Now this coat is suits me
|
And keeps me so warm
|
It's good in the winter
|
It's good in the storm
|
|
My Savior has dressed me
|
In a garment so rare
|
He brought me this new coat
|
You now see me wear
|
|
I'll tell you the best thing
|
I ever did do
|
I took off the old coat
|
And put on the new
|
|
I'll tell you the best thing
|
I ever did do
|
I took off the old coat
|
And put on the new
|
