Subject: Lyr Add: Trials and Tribulations-Origin?
Here's another gospel song from my family's collection, but I'm not sure where they heard it. I can't find anything similar in the DT and would welcome other comments.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
(Ipcar Family Collection)

O, Satan tempted woman.
Woman tempted man;
If it ain't been for the Grace of God
We'd all be dead an' damned -

Chorus:

Ain't dem hard trials,
An' tribulations,
Ain't dem hard trials,
We're bo'n to leave dis world!

You run dis way, you run dat way,
You run from do' to do';
You ain't go' de Grace of Jesus in yo' soul;
Debil goin' to catch yo' sho'. (CHO)

Methodis, Methodid, is ma belief,
Methodis will I die;
I been bo'n in de Methodis Church
Go'n to stay on de Baptis' side. (CHO)

Fox has a hole in de groun',
De bird has a nes' in de air;
Everything has a hiding place,
But we po' sinners has none. (CHO)

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
