The Golden Sheaf ‎#49

49. Better Than Gold

1 Wonderful words of life from the Saviour,
Come, weary wand'rer, far from his fold;
Promises great and love without measure,
His word unto thee is better than gold.

Chorus:
Wanderer, far upon the mountain,
Far from the tender Shepherd's fold;
Come unto Jesus, come to life's fountain,
His word unto thee is better than gold.

2 Better than gold and all earthly treasure,
Riches of grace he offers to thee;
Come unto him and you shall find favor,
When heaven and earth are passing away. [Chorus]

3 Come, yet that labor, come, heavy laden,
Come and find sweet rest unto your soul,
Then unto you there soon shall be given
An entrance into the city of gold. [Chorus]
