Author: Hannah M. Richards Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #830 First Line: Let the world have its diamonds, its silver and gold Refrain First Line: Hallelujah! my soul mounts upward and sings Lyrics: 1. Let the world have its diamonds, its silver and gold, I am richer by far with the title I hold; I am heir to a kingdom, a crown and a throne, That shall stand when earth’s kingdoms are all overthrown. Refrain Hallelujah! my soul mounts upward and sings; Hallelujah to Jesus, the King of all kings! Hallelujah! the kingdom to come draweth nigh; What a crowning ’twill be in the sweet by-and-by, What a crowning ’twill be in the sweet by-and-by! 2. Let the world have its pottage, my birthright I’ll keep, For its pleasures or toys I’ll not grovel or creep; I’m a child of a king, I’ll not barter a crown For the trifles of earth, for its wealth or renown. [Refrain] 3. Let the world have its honors, ambitions and fame, In the Lamb’s Book of Life has been written my name; When the world is on fire, still my name shall endure, And my kingdom and palace will then be secure. [Refrain] 4. I am nearing the city, its spires I can see, And its pearly gates soon will be opened for me; With the shout of a victor, I soon shall be crowned, While the arches of Heav’n with hosannas resound. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Let the world have its diamonds, its silver and gold]

W. G. Cooper

1861 - 1938 Person Name: William Gustin Cooper Composer of "[Let the world have its diamonds, its silver and gold]" in The Cyber Hymnal Rv William Gustin Cooper USA 1861-1938. Born in Evansville, WI, he married Mabel Luella Cooper. He became a Baptist minister having pastorates in Hortonville Village, WI, 1897 – 1901, and later in Ira, VT, in 1922. He also conducted camp meetings. He wrote a number of hymn lyrics and a few tunes. He died in Canton, ME. Note: In a campmeeting service in 1889, when the service was over, a lyricist, Warren Cornell, sat writing a poem. As he left the site, he dropped the paper he was writing and didn't notice it. An hour or or so later, Rev. Cooper came in to tidy up the tent area for the next service, saw the paper, picked it up and read it, and was so inspired by the words, that he finished writing the text and went to the organ and composed the tune for the hymn, “Wonderful peace”.
