Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my
|
|
| 1. | Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my |
| | redemption; |
| | No riches of earth could have saved my poor |
| | soul. |
| | The blood of the cross is my only foundation; |
| | The death of my Savior now maketh me |
| | whole. |
| | I am redeemed, but not with silver; |
| | I am bought, but not with gold; |
| | Bought with a price-the blood of Jesus, |
| | Precious price of love untold. |
| 2. | Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my |
| | redemption; |
| | The guilt on my conscience too heavy had |
| | grown. |
| | The blood of the cross is my only foundation; |
| | The death of my Savior I only can own. |
| 3. | Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my |
| | redemption; |
| | The holy commandment forbade me draw |
| | near. |
| | The blood of the cross is my only foundation; |
| | The death of my Savior removeth my fear. |
| 4. | Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my |
| | redemption; |
| | The way to God's kingdom could not thus be |
| | bought. |
| | The blood of the cross is my only foundation; |
| | The death of my Savior redemption hath |
| | wrought. |
