303
Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my

1.Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my
redemption;
No 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.
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 I only can own.
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.
4.Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my
redemption;
The way to God's kingdom could not thus be
bought.
The blood of the cross is my only foundation;
The death of my Savior redemption hath
wrought.
