[1] Two coats were before me an old and a new
I could have either so [5] what must I [1] do
One coat was ugly and terribly torn
The other a new one had [5] never been [1] worn

The old coat was earthly and not fit to wear
I thought of it often and shed many a tear
Then there was a clean one presented to view
I laid off the old coat and put on the new

[1] I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do
I laid off the old coat and [5] put on the [1] 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 gave me this new coat you now see me wear

Now this coat just fits me and keeps me so warm
It's good in the winter and it's good in the storm
My Savior has dressed me in garments so rare
He fills me with glory His image I'll bear
