Author: Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #286a (1885) First Line: 'Tis not the gold that's mix'd with dross Refrain First Line: O no, 'tis glory, glory fair Lyrics: 1 ‘Tis not the gold that’s mix’d with dross,
‘Tis not the silver yet untried;
‘Tis not the gain that proves but loss,
‘Tis not the wealth unsanctified.
Chorus:
O no, ‘tis glory, glory fair,
Unfailing as the God we love;
‘Twill brighter grow, yea, brighter there,
Thro’ all the life we live above.
2 ‘Tis not the morn o’erspread with clouds,
‘Tis not the day that ends in night;
‘Tis not the light that darkness shrouds,
‘Tis not the sun that sinks from sight. [Chorus]
3 ‘Tis not the joy that’s quench’d in tears,
‘Tis not the faith that’s put to flight;
‘Tis not he hope that’s chang’d to fears,
‘Tis not he love that sin can blight. [Chorus]
