Author: Mary A. Kidder, 1820-1905 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #88 (1977) First Line: Lord, I care not for riches Refrain First Line: Is my name written there Lyrics: 1 Lord, I care not for riches,
Neither silver nor gold;
I would make sure of heaven,
I would enter the fold.
In the book of Thy kingdom,
With its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Saviour,
Is my name written there?
Refrain:
Is my name written there,
On the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Is my name written there?
2 Lord, my sins they are many,
Like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Saviour,
Is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written,
In bright letters that glow,
"Tho' your sins be as scarlet,
I will make them like snow." [Refrain]
3 Oh! that beautiful city,
With its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings,
In pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh
To despoil what is fair;
Where the angels are watching,
Yes, my name's written there.
Yes, my name's written there,
On the page white and fair;
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Yes, my name's written there. Topics: Decision Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, I care not for riches]
