Text: | Nor Silver Nor Gold |
Author: | James M. Gray |
Tune: | [Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption] |
Composer: | Daniel B. Towner |
1 Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption,
Nor 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.
Chorus:
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 could only atone. (Chorus)
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. (Chorus)
4 Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption,
The way into heaven could not thus be bought;
The blood of the cross is my only foundation,
The death of my Savior redemption hath wrought. (Chorus)
